Our goal is to provide workers with a safe working environment and employers with benefit of saving costs over time with leading-edge solutions. We work with businesses locally and internationally through web-based ergonomic assessments and training.
While most employers develop Job Descriptions, often the ‘Physical Requirements’ section provides less-than-optimal detail. For employers doing business in Colorado, a critical threshold is established by the Division of Worker’s Compensation Rules of Procedure, #17.
Colorado’s occupational medicine physicians and allied healthcare providers have striven through extensive research review to identify and validate ergonomic risk factors for work-related injuries. This positions Colorado’s workforce, employers, and workers’ compensation payers to benefit from using these criteria to inform their health and safety practices. The first step is to quantify physical demands for the jobs that keep Colorado moving forward.
Moving beyond behavior-based approaches to leading indicators, employers have the opportunity to get in front of injury incidence and severity using leading indicators. Following NIOSH’s recommended Hierarchy of Controls to drive Recommendations, our Ergonomics Evaluations engage stakeholders across the organization, carefully selecting assessment tools to stratify Risk, while ultimately striving toward growth in Safety Culture.
Our training programs foster level-up content appropriate for different areas of an organization, using a solid understanding of key job tasks to explain Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) Risk Factors. Scenario-based practice fosters generalization of principles to empower workers and leadership to identify risks and work toward development of appropriate controls.
Part of our jobsite analysis works to make sure you hire the right employees and gives you key factors to look for when hiring. Some of this might seem like common sense, but these can help cover areas that will make sure you avoid the wrong candidates for a position.
Ergonomics is making sure the right tools and workspace fit the worker so the work is safer and more efficient. Implementing ergonomic solutions can make employees more comfortable and increase productivity.
