Ergonomics Assessments and Training
Approximately one-third of all worker injuries are related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), such as back strains, sprains and carpal tunnel syndrome. Preventing these injuries before they occur is the cornerstone of a safe workplace. Poms' risk control consultants are here to help, conducting detailed ergonomics assessments to identify the ergonomics risk factors associated with various workplace tasks.
In office or industrial settings, our consultants can conduct ergonomics workstation evaluations or ergonomics job hazard assessments at the first sign of employee discomfort, producing a significant, positive impact on your loss-prevention efforts.
Training employees on ergonomics risk factors and risk reduction is a very important component of a comprehensive safety management system. Empowering employees with the ability to understand basic body mechanics and how they contribute to MSD injuries may reduce on the job injuries and help them lead healthier lives.
