Ergonomic Assistance

What is ergonomics?

Ergonomics is the science of fitting worksites to people. It focuses on designing workstations, tools and tasks with an eye toward safety, efficiency and comfort. Effective ergonomic design promotes comfort, reduces workplace injuries and increases job satisfaction and productivity.

How Can Safety Links help?

Safety Links can assist you in identifying your risk factors and recommend practical controls measures so you and your employees maintain optimum comfort, safety, and efficiency. Remember that ergonomics is not only for office environment. Ergonomic evaluations can be extremely helpful in industrial and even construction settings!

We offer 3 levels of ergonomic assessments based on your needs:

Level 1:

Level One is a, concise and effective option when an individualized approach is necessary. In just 20 minutes modifications are suggested "on the spot" to promote a better fit between the worker and their workstation. Designed for the low-risk and symptom free employee, this is a particularly effective way to evaluate individual employees. In addition, Level One is useful when upgrading equipment, renovating or relocating.

Level 2:

Level Two is a more comprehensive individual workstation evaluation, with a detailed report. Level Two is appropriate for employees with complaints of work-related pain/discomfort or groups of individuals in ergonomic "red flag" areas (data entry, call centers, materials handling, etc.). "Protective" evaluations are designed to eliminate current complaints and prevent future incidents.

Level 3:

Level Three is a personalized analysis of the workspace performed during or after medical intervention (work or non-work related injuries). Designed to ease return to work and maximize the employee's capability, the Level Three evaluation, which includes an in-depth report, helps reduce health care costs and eliminate or reduce ergonomic hazards. Medical providers often prescribe "Post Injury" ergonomic evaluations.
