What is
Ergonomics?
 
"Ergonomics, in its simplest context, is
the study of work. The objectives of ergonomic intervention are to prevent
injuries due to overexertion and cumulative trauma, to increase profitability
through productivity gains and reduced compensation costs, and to improve
workplace quality of life."

Robert O. Andres, Ph.D., CPE President
and Founder Ergonomic Engineering, Inc.

The Ergonomic Program
Review

 
Who Needs EEI's Ergonomic Program Review?
The
fact is, ergonomic programs can go stale. Like all safety issues, ergonomics
is on-going effort which requires continued commitment and regular review.
When do you know it's time to review your ergonomic program? Here's
a guide:
If it's been more than two years since you've
reviewed current policies and procedures
If your injury rates and compensation costs are
starting to creep back up
If you are unable to document effectiveness of
current ergonomic practices
If you would like to expand, upgrade or modernize
your program
If you do not have an ergonomics program currently
in place!
If any of the above statements apply to your business, then it's time
for a fresh perspective-- it's time for an EEI Ergonomic Program Review.
