Let's Understand

Industrial Ergonomics

Industrial Ergonomics focuses on the design and use of equipment and systems that do not damage industrial workers’ health or it can also be explained as the study of adapting job tasks to human abilities and natural body movements. Our major concern in industrial ergonomics is to ensure workplace safety by reducing factors that increase the risk of an accident or stress-related injury.

Exposure to repetitive stressors within a workplace or to requirements that force the human body to exert force in a manner to which it is not adapted can lead to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) or a sudden physical injury.

phases of Our

Industrial Ergonomics assessment services

Phase I :

Reviewing the existing workplace and past ergonomic assessment reports if any

The initial step in developing or enhancing your ergonomics program is to gather historical information about past assessments (if any) and the existing work environment. We establish a foundational understanding of your workspace and any past work-related issues or injuries that have occurred or reported. 

Phase II :

Establishing a Standard Ergonomic Assessment Method

Depending on the specific nature of your industrial facility, we tailor our approach by combining suitable qualitative and quantitative methods to precisely identify the risk factors. Here are a few of the varied methodologies we employ: 

1. Postural Assessments 
  • Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA)
  • Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA)
  • Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC)
  • Occupational Repetitive Action (OCRA)
  • Ovako Working Posture Assessment (OWAS)
  • The Stain Index
  • WISHA Hazard Zone Job Checklist
  • Rodgers Muscle Fatigue Analysis
2. Discomfort Assessments 
  • Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaires
3. Workplace Assessment 
  • ILO Ergonomic Checkpoints
  • PLIBEL: The Method Assigned for Identification of Ergonomic Hazards
  • Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC)
4. Manual Handling Assessments 
  • NIOSH Lifting Equation
  • Snook Tables
  • Manual Handling Assessment Chart (MAC)
5. Workplace Environment Assessment 
  • Heat Stress Indices
  • Thermal Condition Assessment
  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
  • Indoor Lighting
  • Human Vibration Exposure
  • Noise and Noise Mapping Study
6. Human Reliability Analysis  
  • Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA)
  • Task Analysis for Error Identification (TAEI)
  • Systematic Human Error Reduction and Prediction Approach (SHERPA)

Phase III :

Development of Intervention Strategies

Based on the assessment results we tailored intervention programs. The intervention program includes hybrid training and IEC materials, ergonomics workshops, 2D and 3D workstation design recommendations, one to one physiotherapy consultations, floor talks and policy development and tasks design.
