We believe that a physical and cognitive demands analysis should report measured, objective information about a job, in a clear, concise report.

We believe that protecting workers from heat-related illness requires a consistent, objective approach. We estimate job demands using a detailed analysis method, and we set up a program that uses the wet-bulb globe temperature, because it most accurately represents what a worker is experiencing.

We believe that our clients want easy access to support for every aspect of their ergo program, including technical ergo expertise, implementation support to facilitate ergo improvements, training for key stakeholders in the program, and an actively changing awareness initiative to keep everyone interested.

We believe that ergo training should be designed for specific groups of employees (supervisor, engineer, worker, office employee, etc), and that training needs to be “hands on” so participants can truly understand how ergonomics applies to them.

We believe that an ergonomics assessment needs to distinguish “nice-to-do” from “need-to-do” through musculoskeletal injury (MSD) risk evaluation, and needs to provide specific, clear recommendations.

We believe that workers and employers benefit from an objective approach to return-to-work. We help employers to determine suitability, and to develop appropriate accommodations to allow workers to safely return to work.

We believe that engineers and equipment designers want to use ergo design guidelines that clearly specify the ideal reaches, heights, clearances, and other “ergo” parameters.

We believe that office employees can usually be safely accommodated using existing equipment, by making adjustments to chairs, keyboard trays, work surface heights, etc. We understand that employers want access to broad-scope approaches (such as awareness training for large groups), as well as intensely focussed detailed assessments for workers with injuries.
