SAINTS Industrial Rehabilitation staff offers ergonomic consultation in industrial and office settings.
SAINTS staff work with your employees to assess their jobs and identify ergonomic risk factors and solutions.
We teach the importance of behavioral modifications as well as environmental modifications so employees can identify immediate approaches to improving ergonomics when ever possible until environmental solutions can be put into place.
SAINTS Industrial Ergonomic Program
SAINTS staff will come to work with your employees to determine ergonomic solutions for injury prevention. We will work with you to modify our standard program to fit your needs.
Standard Program
Step 1: Education for the employees with the goal to increase awareness to what types of stressors increase our risk of injury. Employees learn information that they can utilize to begin identifying stressors in their work area.
Step 2: Visits to the work areas to assess the work area for ergonomic risk factors. Interaction with employees and facilitation of their identifying any stressors that exist. We begin brainstorming and discussing potential solutions.
Step 3: SAINTS staff compiles all identified stressors, discussion from the worksite visits and potential solutions/recommendations before having a meeting with the staff (workers, department directors, health and safety representatives) to discuss possible solutions.
Step 4: SAINTS staff completes a final report with summary of risk factors identified, potential solutions identified, and recommendations.
