EK Ergonomics helps businesses create ergonomically sound work environments. Our highly interactive seminars teach your employees to perform at their maximum potential. We show you how to reduce workplace injuries.
Our expert staff combines medical backgrounds with certifications in ergonomics and instructional design and facilitation, to establish a safe, healthy, productive workplace.
An evaluation consists of an interview to discuss job tasks and symptoms of pain or discomfort. The subsequent assessment reviews different components of the workstation, including chair, desk or workstation, computer system arrangement, computer accessories, and any other work-related equipment. We observe the employee during regular job tasks and take measurements of body dimensions and workstation heights. The evaluator provides instruction regarding chair adjustment, neutral working postures, computer setup, keyboarding and mouse use techniques, and general healthy work habits. The evaluator provides a report of observations and recommendations.
The duration of individual assessments depends on the severity of symptoms and the amount of training required. When the individual has symptoms and has not received previous ergonomic training, the assessment usually takes 45-60 minutes.
FOLLOW-UP VISITS
We conduct follow-up visits after clients implement our recommendations. During these visits we determine whether new equipment has been installed, adjusted, and used properly, and that employees have successfully adopted new work practices. Follow up visits are necessary to gauge recovery and address any unresolved issues.
COMPANY-WIDE RISK ASSESSMENTS
These assessments include specific departments or the entire company. We evaluate equipment, employee techniques and postures and produce written reports of risk factors and recommendations for implementation of ergonomic equipment and training.
