If your organization already has an ergonomics program in place, it is very possible that you are not achieving all the ergonomic program outreach that was originally expected. If your program is primarily focused on reacting to injuries, as opposed to injury prevention, this is validation that your ergonomics program has not reached its full potential. It may be that your organization is extremely limited in its ergonomic staff. It is more likely that what ergonomic staff you do have is spending most of its time dealing with administrative overload instead of evaluating and training your employees. Further, in such situations the tracking and presentation of program metrics is usually just an afterthought.

Pelletier & Associates specializes in the review and streamlining of large scale ergonomic programs. We are well versed in the essential components of an effective ergonomics program, as well as the best practices to achieve program objectives. With a thorough review of your ergonomics program and processes, and a reasonable amount of re-engineering, we can help you to quickly achieve increased proficiency in the nine key areas of an effective ergonomics program.

Our Process Documentation will help your organization to:

• Identify missing essential program components

• Eliminate processes not contributing to program goals

• Visually depict your current ergonomic process vs. a correctly designed process

• Effectively compartmentalize ergonomic processes so that administrative tasks can be delegated to administrative personnel

• Understand the efficient collection and presentation of program metrics

• Streamline your ergonomic procurement process

• Automate in-person scheduling

• See the benefits resulting from follow-up activities

• Increase your program outreach and public relations

• Identify the appropriate use of technology

The use of technology can play a significant role in streamlining your ergonomic program. The problem is that no one solution does it all. There are numerous competent ergonomic software vendors in the market place, but to date we have not found one the can fully satisfy all the needs of a comprehensive ergonomics program. This is why we consistently use the term, “appropriate use of technology”. To be sure, there are software vendors that can provide excellent solutions to a variety of ergonomic issues. Our Technology Selection service can help you in determining which solutions will work best in your environment, and how to best use that technology to reduce administrative overhead. Where gaps exist, we can help your organization to develop customized solutions.

All told, we can help to ensure that any use of ergonomic technology your organization chooses stays aligned with your ergonomic programs’ goals and objectives.
