Industrial Ergonomic Assessment
Individual Ergonomic Assessments
Individual assessments are performed with one individual who may be having issues. They are done using standard ergonomic assessment tools, including NIOSH equation, RULA, REBA, Snook tables, etc. During the assessment, issues are understood, observations are made of current work practices, and any potential risks are identified and discussed. Individual coaching is done to assist individuals in proper body mechanics and processes. Appropriate engineering and administrative controls are discussed and identified in a report. A risk assessment can be done in conjunction with a JDA to analyze and address possible risks identified during the JDA.
Group Ergonomic Assessments
Group assessments involve several people in an area who perform similar tasks. They are done in the same way as individual assessments, with a focus on identifying work processes and tool / equipment selection which can address the needs of all users. Group training on proper body mechanics and processes may come out of this type of assessment. Appropriate engineering and administrative controls are discussed and identified in a report. A risk assessment can be done in conjunction with a JDA to analyze and address possible risks identified during the JDA.
Lab Ergonomic Assessments
Anderson Ergonomics Consulting Inc. has spent years evaluating risks of musculoskeletal injuries in lab environments. We understand the issues related to pipetting, microscope work, microbiology processes, etc. and have helped many lab employees reduce muscle strains associated with this work. We can do either an individual ergonomic assessment or a group / task ergonomic assessment and provide recommendations for successful reduction of risk.
