Our ergonomic group provides broad-based development and implementation assistance for soft-tissue injury management programs in retail, service and manufacturing entities of all sizes. Reed Environmental, Inc. can assist your organization to develop and implement an ongoing ergonomic process aimed at reducing worker injuries and improving productivity through training and task redesign. Our ergonomic consulting services include:
-
The delivery of dynamic ergonomic risk awareness training to lean manufacturing groups, safety committees, EH&S personnel, industrial engineers, and plant management. Designed to elicit immediate incremental improvement in productivity and risk reduction, this hands-on ergonomics training includes in-plant video assessments of jobs using job and task assessment techniques.
-
The identification, assessment and control of process and production bottlenecks, tasks with high incident rates, and production functions with excess waste. Data gathering on site consists of videotaping, digital photography and interviews with operators and site management personnel.
-
The prioritization of engineering design and modification projects to identify non-value added tasks, while reducing unnecessary motion, excess transportation and work delays, high force tasks and uncomfortable work station arrangements. We develop administrative and engineering strategies and protocols to reduce task cycle times, reduce waste, and eliminate barriers to human performance, providing cost benefit justification for proposed interventions.
-
We can develop job descriptions, functional capacity assessments and assist with the implementation of an effective medical management process to reduce medical costs.
