The Problem
Large organizations are now recognizing the benefits
associated with putting an ergonomics program into
action. In implementing ergonomic programs, however,
many organizations are failing to realize those
benefits. This can occur for a variety of reasons:
-
Limited staff
-
No ability to
demonstrate program effectiveness to management
-
Overly complex
processes & systems leading to excessive
administrative overhead
-
Ergonomic practices
that are not aligned with stated ergonomic policy
-
Lack of
standardization with regard to products and
procurement
-
Ergonomic budgeting
processes that are not integrated with other key
budget areas
-
Insufficient
workplace-targeted employee training
-
Lack of follow-up
Technology following human
interaction, not the other way around…
Our experience has shown that achieving the ultimate goal of
reducing repetitive motion injury and increasing
productivity is only possible through increased human
outreach. While effective in automating processes,
technology alone cannot replace the efficacy of a visit from
a trained ergonomic specialist. Increase the number of
visits and interactions your employees have with a trained
ergonomics professional, and you will reduce
injuries while at the same time increasing the comfort and
productivity of your employees.
The nine areas Pelletier & Associates focuses on are
designed to streamline your ergonomics program, freeing up
the time your ergonomic staff has for person-to-person
outreach. In nearly all situations that we have encountered,
one or more of the key nine areas are developed or even
automated, while other areas are significantly
under-developed, or altogether non-existent. Our approach
balances your ergonomics program, while scaling it
appropriately to the size of your ergonomic staff. Our
methodology will integrate the best of your current
practices with our tools and techniques in such a way that
puts your ergonomic staff where they should be … working
face to face with your employees.
