Industrial Ergonomics Consulting

Use the principles of ergonomics to reduce risk and improve safety and productivity in non-office environments.

Employees in industrial settings are exposed to different hazards such as extreme temperatures, noise, vibrations, awkward postures, repetitive movements and handling of heavy loads. We perform industrial ergonomic assessments to reduce if not eliminate these risks and allow your employees to work comfortably, efficiently and safely. Our clients include those in the manufacturing, logistics, shipping, healthcare and facilities, amongst others.

Industrial Ergonomics

Industrial Ergonomics

Industrial ergonomics refers to the evaluation of work done in non-office environments, for example, manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, facilities or laboratories. Our consultants can work with you to minimise or eliminate ergonomic risks using proven risk assessment methodologies. Manual handling risk assessments, for example, can be used to determine if a task is within safe lifting limits. The results are used by our consultants to advise on cost-effective controls to address any identified risks.

Other services include design reviews of workplace layouts and manufacturing processes, injury investigations, equipment sign-offs, equipment/tool selection, workstation assessments and fatigue analysis. We advice on reasonable adjustments for specialist cases like those returning to work after injury or illness or for employees with additional needs like in the case of a disability. We also offer proactive education programs on the topics of back care, stretching and injury prevention in industrial settings.

One aspect of ergonomics in industry focuses on the design of work equipment and workstations to ensure the safety of industrial workers. We recognise that every workplace is unique and each company or organisation has different needs. Our consulting service is fully customisable and industry-specific. We use scientific based risk assessment techniques to identify, measure, prioritise and control against ergonomic risk factors like awkward posture, repetition, force and static loading. Minimising exposure to these risk factors can decrease the risk of injury and improve comfort and productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions about Industrial ergonomics consulting

Are your industrial ergonomics programs customisable?

Each company is unique and faces different ergonomic challenges. Every employee and workforce is different. We deliver a customised service for every company. FFW takes time to investigate your specific needs and compile an ergonomic strategy to meet them

What does an industrial ergonomics program look like?

Each industrial program looks different. We study the work environment, identify and measure the risks and present practical solutions to mitigate them. For example, we can determine if a lifting task is safe by using a lifting equation, we use ergonomic design guidelines to determine if workstation heights are correct or if emergency switches are at an accessible height. Education and training form a significant part of an ergonomics program and this can be tailored to suit the relevant industry. Ergo Global’s ErgoEval tool comes in handy in providing education and training resources for employees about industrial ergonomics. It is fully customisable and easy to navigate. It also allows you to generate detailed reports that can be useful in your ergonomics strategy.
