• Do your employees ask for furniture or equipment and you aren’t sure if they really need it?

  • Are employees bringing you doctor’s notes for furniture?

  • Are you afraid that addressing ergonomics for one person will create a flood of requests from others?

  • Are ergonomic problems taking up more of your time and energy than you’d like?

  • Are you concerned about employees developing work related injuries?

Most employers want to take care of their employees and make sure they are safe and comfortable at work.

But when it comes to ergonomics, there hasn’t been a clear way to handle the problems employers face.

 

How do you select adjustable chairs that work for your budget?


Can you trust the furniture vendor to give you objective advice?

 

How do you respond to employees who ask for furniture or equipment? 


What happens when other employees ask for the same thing?

 

How do you respond if an employee tells you they have an injury?

 

What should you do if an employee brings you a doctor’s note for a standing desk?

 

Should you be concerned about employees working from home?

 

These problems take your time and energy. But when you are looking for guidance to solve these problems, you can’t find a solution that addresses everything you need.

 

For over 20 years we’ve helped employers large and small handle ergonomic issues by helping them create ergonomics programs.

    2. Employee Training

    3. Employee Evaluations

    4. Pre-Approved Furniture and Equipment

    5. Policies and Procedures

    6. Injury Reporting Process

    7. Job Accommodation Request Process


    Ergonomics for Employers will help you create a complete office ergonomics program that will address your ergonomics problems.

    We will guide you step by step to create a program that is customized for your company.

    What's in the training?

    • We will help you take a look at where you are now. You will be able to prioritize ergonomic issues so you know which to tackle first. You’ll select goals for your program and have the tools to measure your progress easily.

    • Upper Management Support: understand the ROI of ergonomics programs so you can get support for the program. You’ll get a copy of our risk management presentation, too.

    • OSHA, Worker’s Compensation and ADA: learn how laws and regulations affect how you manage ergonomics.

    • How to handle medical notes - and show you when you don’t have to do what the doctor says.

    • Policies and Procedures. You will get a done-for-you ergonomics program manual. Once you customize it for your organization, this becomes your play book. Rules and process become clear for everyone which minimizes work for you.

    • Learn how to make decisions about furniture, equipment, training and evaluations. You’ll learn what you want from office furniture and know how to shop for it when the time comes. You will also learn what ergonomic equipment we recommend for those who need help.

    • Once you have the basic components established, you are ready to launch. We show you how to run a test launch with a small group first. Then, we give you tools to get people participating in the program. We’ve packed this section with ready-made flyers, printable posters, email templates and infographics.

    • Review and update your program periodically and continue to advance your program year after year. Assess your goals and metrics, make changes to build on your successes. You’ll get a yearly stakeholder presentation template as well.

    • Furniture Selection Guides: chairs, modular furniture and sit-stand workstation

    What companies are saying...

    "We had inconsistencies in our program and were not sure about directions to get where we needed to be. Now, I have a clear direction of how to set up and roll out our program. This course was very good, very informative - I look forward to working with you in the future." - Rick Wilkes, Interim Safety Manager, Austin Energy



    "We needed resources to develop an ergonomics policy, and update our procedures and training. We needed to understand ergonomic requirements and programs. We got a lot of hands-on work developing a policy, procedures and training. It was very valuable information with lots of useful take away material." - Kathleen Garrett, Director EHS
