Ergonomics

Ergonomic Evaluations
Musculoskeletal injuries are the second most common and costly in the U.S. workforce.  Rather than waiting for the workers to report injuries after years of abuse, a forward-thinking safety program will evaluate potential hazards and identify solutions on an ongoing basis in order to minimize future injuries and claims.  Although ergonomic evaluations seem intuitive to many, only a qualified and trained ergonomist can truly evaluate hazardous conditions and recommend efficient improvements.  EPG staff have had years of training and experience in biomechanics, human anatomy, and ergonomics evaluation.

Job and Task Specific Analyses and Recommendations
Individual tasks and jobs must be evaluated by qualified and professional ergonomists that can make recommendations that will eliminate musculoskeletal risks before injuries occur.  EPG professionals have the experience and training necessary to be able to evaluate workplace tasks and jobs, and determine what musculoskeletal hazards need to be controlled or eliminated.

Ergonomic Training Programs
EPG has pre-existing ergonomic training programs for a wide variety of workplaces and industries.  They also have the experience to develop company-specific ergonomics training programs to ensure your employees understand the fundamental musculoskeletal hazards at their workplace and the best means to prevent exposures and injuries.  Special courses have already been developed for laboratory ergonomics, dietary departments, facilities staff and grounds crew ergonomics.
