Real Ergonomic Assessments and Solutions
We'll come to your workplace or meet with you online and reduce the amount of physical stress on your body and come up with solutions for injury avoidance. Whether you're in pain from poor posture, repetitive movements or heavy lifting we've got the solutions to keep you working and protect your most valuable asset...You! Simply call or email us to set up an evaluation and we'll be there on site if needed or online at your workstation to help you make changes to your computer/human interface system.
Many people ignore the signs of computer overuse, a sore forearm or shoulder, heaviness or tiredness in the dominant arm, these are all real signs of trouble and if you've noticed them it's time to address the causes and make real changes to prevent a real inability to function at work. You may call it carpal tunnel or repetitive stress disorder, but either way it's excess stress to your muscles and tendons and it hurts your performance. If you've let it go too long, get in for a few sessions of physical therapy in combination with changing your workstation. Don't assume you've set your workspace up properly, get a set of trained eyes in front of your workstation and be confident that the changes will work.
Contact us and we'll set up a Skype conference with you to evaluate your current workstation and make appropriate changes and recommendations. Email us at contact@human-function.com or call 206.734.9033, all you need is a webcam and the desire to decrease your work related muscular stress.
Ergonomic Employment Screening (Pre-employment, post-offer)
A simple test can save your business thousands of dollars per year in injury costs:
[Ergonomics are a small cost when noting that one injury has an average annual cost of $ 13,100.00 according to the National Counsel for Compensation Insurers (NCCI), 1999.]
Does the job require heavy lifting, bending, twisting, repetitive standing, stooping, climbing, crawling, balance? We'll test the key tasks that can make or break an employee and offer advice for increasing employee safety in the target job. Wouldn't it be great to find out if a new hire can tolerate lifting the 50lbs consistently before he or she is thrown into the job position and has an on the job injury? We measure heart rate responses, lifting tolerances on frequent and occassional basis and so much more. We'll tailor the test to your companies needs and reduce the risk of injury. It's not enough for an employee to state they can do the job, there are too many factors not visible to you upon new hire that can preclude injury. These assessments are performed after an employee is offered the job but before initiation of the target job. If a client is found to be unsafe for the target job, options are presented to assist the client in reaching the job demands safely or alternate positions within the company are found if possible. A simple inexpensive test can save you thousands and keep your human assets safe. Set up an appointment with our Human Function physical therapists
