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. We expand the analysis to assist with hiring, return-to-work, modified duty program development – both workers’ compensation and LOA – and reasonable accommodations requests under the ADA.
Whether augmenting an existing ergonomics program, or helping build front-line engagement with ErgoTeams, our evaluations and controls recommendations will add value.
Doing business in Colorado? We incorporate risk factor thresholds established by our DOWC medical treatment guidelines to help your business make informed decisions to reduce its overall injury risk profile.
Also called ‘The Working Interview’, our services provide a turn-key program for safely and efficiently screening Job Applicants for their ability to perform essential functions. Consider high-risk, entry-level positions and the value of streamlining onboarding and reducing turnover for those positions first. The process is EEOC and ADA compliant and grounded in a customized white paper developed by a Colorado workers’ compensation attorney. Program can be delivered in-house or with staffing agencies.
When serious injuries happen, physicians need reliable data to determine whether an employee is safe to return to work or needs permanent work restrictions. Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) need to demonstrate worker consistency of effort to ensure restrictions are based on valid findings.
Our FCEs use Cross-Validation, the industry’s best known methods for statistically-significant findings. This adds value to recommendations and often reduces testing time. Recommendations protect workers from reinjury as physicians, employers, guarantors, and legal representatives work toward fair and efficient case closure.
FCEs are currently offered in Denver only.
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.
