Ergonomics Programs – Creating Positive EMOTIONS™

1Source staff has helped companies in a wide variety of business sectors address ergonomic needs from the initial work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD) trend analysis to quantitative physical demand evaluation including comparison to population capabilities. Our team of experts has the tools to properly identify and eliminate the workplace stressors that can result in employee injury/illness and inefficiencies. Elimination or reduction of the ergonomic risk can result can result in significant reduction in workers’ compensation cost and associated liabilities.

Our program of Creating Positive EMOTIONS™ (Ergonomic Motions) can provide significant cost benefit. Our services have ranged from helping to develop and implement a global ergonomics program to individual exposure assessment and control. The bullets below provide some individual services.

Following is a link to a website that includes a program for detailed ergonomic assessments performed by some of our staff. Colin J.Brigham, Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE), was a project manager involved in the development of ergonomic risk assessment methodologies that were then applied by teams under his technical direction at 21 Air Force bases. In the completion of the base visits by a field staff of 8 individuals, over 2000 processes and 5000 tasks were analyzed. Risk ranking was performed, quick fixes and control approaches were also provided to these bases.
