Ergonomic Consulting
Comprehensive Ergonomic Assessment in Ottawa
Are you concerned about your employees’ well-being? Ergo-Safety conducts on-site ergonomic assessments at your home or work office across Eastern Ontario and Gatineau. We can also analyze, design, assess, and deliver workplace-specific ergonomics training programs. We can help you modify and design your workplace and improve your in-house ergonomics program.
Companies are often prompted to contact us because their employees are suffering from some form of musculoskeletal discomfort at work, at home, or both. In many cases, these employees have already consulted a health provider who has recommended that they request an ergonomic assessment of their workspace. An ergonomic assessment can determine if there are any factors in your employees’ work environment or at their work station that may be contributing to their discomfort.

How Ergonomic Assessments Help
As costs continue to grow and technology increases in complexity, a safe and ergonomically sound workplace is a prerequisite for competitiveness. If your employees are getting injured or your business is suffering from high Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) costs, absenteeism, or low morale, our practical ergonomics approach combined with a sound knowledge of business objectives can benefit you by minimizing these problems and, in some cases, eliminating them. In fact, ergonomics has many benefits:
-
Improves employee health and safety
-
Helps injured workers return to work
-
Improves morale and well-being
-
Improves productivity and work quality
-
Fits tasks to abilities
-
Increases knowledge and skill
-
Encourages teamwork
-
Helps your business comply with legislation
-
Reduces WSIB costs
Ergonomic assessments can also help identify and improve behavioural habits that prevent employees from achieving their optimal performance. Ergonomic assessments can help you achieve a healthy, productive and highly efficient work environment.
