Ergonomics

What is ergonomics?

Ergonomics is the applied science of equipment design intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue, discomfort, and stress. Body mechanics is defined as maintaining the proper or most efficient position during movement, pertaining to the least amount of stress on postural muscles for a particular movement

So how do you decrease injuries in the workplace? Decrease the amount of stress on the body!

In other words; setting up the work environment and training staff to use correct body mechanics to stop injuries to workers, and remembering that prevention is much better than a cure, for the employee and the employer.

More simply, ergonomics is a discipline that involves arranging the environment to fit the person in it. When ergonomics is applied correctly in the work environment, visual and musculoskeletal discomfort and fatigue are reduced significantly.

Following ergonomic principles helps reduce stress and eliminate many potential injuries and disorders associated with the overuse of muscles, bad posture, and repeated tasks. This is accomplished by designing tasks, work spaces, controls, displays, tools, and equipment to fit the employee’s physical capabilities and limitations.

Today, smart companies rely on advanced Ergonomics Programs as a means of maximizing employee productivity, efficiency, and morale by reducing fatigue and mental/muscular stress in the office setting.

Corporate Ergonomics Program

Our Ergonomics Program is unique, personal, and highly successful. Our ongoing corporate clients continually benefit from this hands-on program in terms of increased employee performance, productivity, and a noticeable decrease in absenteeism.

By assisting in the creation of a neutral body position during daily office tasks, the Corporate Ergonomics Program reduces stress and strain on muscles, tendons, and the skeletal system, thereby diminishing and correcting problems associated with common musculoskeletal disorders created by long hours and repetitious work demands.

You owe it to yourself to explore the possibilities of this extraordinary program and the benefits it will present to your company and its employees.

How do we help your company?

• Step-1

We will visit your office to provide a preliminary workplace/employee ergonomic evaluation. During this first visit, he will determine the main causes of individual stress and muscle tension as the result of the incorrect placement of everyday work tools such as computers, desks, chairs, lighting, and any other sources of discomfort that can limit the proper execution of necessary daily job activities.

• Step-2

After the initial evaluation, we will personally design and implement a two-month program that will improve each participant's work posture, thereby helping them relieve stress and tension from the body. Combined with body posture correction and physical Therapy, will promote a rapid recovery to normal posture, allow for a swift return to normal activities, and increase daily work productivity.

• Step-3

He will also treat and train your employees in the use of corrective stretching exercises that strengthen the same weak muscles that are the cause of daily discomfort at their workstations.
