Ergonomic Evaluations

What is an Ergonomic Evaluation?
An Ergonomic Evaluation is an assessment of equipment and work site design to help determine the effects of worker fatigue, discomfort and injury risk on productivity. The assessment addresses work safety standards recommended by OSHA, NIOSH and ANSI.

What are the components of a successful Ergonomic Evaluation?
There are five pieces to a successful Ergonomic Evaluation:

  • Involve Management and the Workforce in the Evaluation Process
  • Identify Jobs Which Create the Highest Risk for Injury
  • Develop a Budget Dedicated to Making Improvements in Safety & Productivity
  • Set Goals to Monitor the Success of Your Ergonomic Changes
  • Hire an Ergonomics Specialist with the Skills and Experience, Like Those Found at St. Rita's
Let WORC put the pieces together for you.
