A small high technology in the Bay Area, Oakland California recently partnered with Ergobility for an ergonomic evaluation. The results were transformative as the environmental health and safety team at our company was facing challenges related to employee discomfort related to cumulative related activities. We understood it was time to invest in an ergonomics program to have employees able to request ergonomic assistance proactively when deemed necessary. The professionalism and expertise of the evaluator was evident. He conducted thorough assessments in various departments including offices and other areas, engaging both directly with our employees and management to ensure that all ergonomic risk factors were identified, mitigated, and those best practices were spread throughout the sites. The ergonomic specialist also came up with practical solutions tailored to our workplace with a high level of communication across multiple departments. . The ergonomic recommendations implemented changes such as adjustable workstations, improved seating, and enhanced training on proper ergonomic setup and techniques. The feedback from employees was overwhelmingly positive and many have reported a reduction in discomfort and improvement in morale. Overall, the ergonomic evaluations have not only improved our workplace environment but has also demonstrated our commitment to employee well-being. We highly recommend Ergobility for any organization looking to improve their ergonomics and boost overall employee satisfaction. Posters were placed reminding staff to make proper setup a priority as well as encouraging improved body mechanics. Some examples are seen below. In modern day work arenas, a standard office task chair and desk is not the only location people are seen working. Nowadays, the new open cafe-style work is common for those tech moguls working on-the-go. So, it's important to apply ergonomics to all areas we work throughout the day to reduce the cumulative effects of posture, repetitive motions, and contact stressors. The signs of an early onset ergonomic related injury are numbness, tiredness, tingling, and loss of power. These are typically stages prior to permanent disablement. If action is not taken by a company and their employer, it can lead to a costly worker's compensation claim incurring lost work time, pain and suffering, which is bad for morale and the company bottom-line. An ergonomics program also ensures that a company is OSHA compliant. So if you know a person or company that can use an ergonomic evaluation specialist in the Greater Bay Area, call Ergobility today. It's best to be on the preventative side which pays off in the end.
