Ergonomics Assessment

Ergonomic Assessments & Training Services

Reduce Injuries • Improve Compliance & Work Quality • Boost Productivity

Workplace injuries cost U.S. businesses billions each year - and with OSHA placing a growing emphasis on ergonomic risk factors (manual handling, repetitive motion, awkward postures, forceful exertions), many companies are unsure where to turn for compliance, prevention, and employee training.

Ergonomic Facts & Benefits

Statistics demonstrate that implementing ergonomics can significantly reduce shoulder and low back conditions, yielding a strong return on investment for businesses. This is achieved by redesigning jobs and workplaces to reduce risk factors like heavy lifting, awkward postures, and repetitive motion.

Business and health benefits

Reduced musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs): Ergonomic interventions have been shown to reduce MSDs by an average of 61%.
Significant cost savings: For every $1 invested in effective ergonomics, studies show an average return of $1.78 and more in some cases. Payback period often takes less than six months.
Fewer lost workdays: Ergonomic programs can dramatically cut down on lost productivity. Office workers saw an 88% reduction in lost workdays. Healthcare facilities saw a 54% reduction in lost workdays related to MSDs.
Lower turnover and claims: Office ergonomic interventions have reduced staff turnover by 87%. A Canadian study showed up to 62% fewer workers' compensation claims.

Facts about preventing low back pain

Heavy lifting is a leading cause: Back injuries account for one in five workplace injuries. 80% affect the lower back and are linked to manual materials handling.
Job redesign is critical: At least one-third of compensable back injuries could be prevented through better job design.
Posture matters: Poor sitting posture can overstretch spinal ligaments and damage spinal discs over time. A supportive chair with proper lumbar support helps maintain the back's natural curve.
Addressing work demand is key: A study of nurses showed most experienced low back discomfort after just five weeks, with high work demands as a contributing factor.

Facts about preventing shoulder conditions

Overhead work is a major risk: Jobs requiring frequent overhead work are 2–3x more likely to cause shoulder injuries. Spending just 10% of a shift with arms at 90°+ doubles risk.
Office workers are at risk: One in five computer users is diagnosed with an upper limb MSD. Up to 51.6% report shoulder pain in a 12-month period.
Combined exposures increase risk: Workers with multiple ergonomic risk factors, such as repetitive arm movements, have greater increases in neck and shoulder pain.
Simple adjustments offer results: Ergonomics education and workstation adjustments (e.g., forearm support) have been linked to significant reductions in shoulder symptoms.
