Prevention

Work Analysis

Work analysis is the cornerstone of our prevention services.  Once the requirements of the job have been defined using a variety of methods, we pinpoint risk factors for injury based on the degree of fit between the work, the person(s) performing it, and the evironment in which it is performed.        

Workstation Evaluations

The workstation analysis service is for clients who are particularly concerned whether or not workstations fit or can be adjusted to fit workers.  We can examine current designs, facilitate re-designs, and test the effectiveness of any re-design efforts using key safety and business-related metrics.       

Safety Audits

With a broader scope than our work analysis and workstation services, our ergonomics and safety process audits examine your company or site ergonomics program relative to minimum standards and best practices in business and industry.  Actionable recommendations are provided.   

Strategic Planning

In this process, leadership articulates the company’s strategy for safety by examining its strengths, weakness, threats, and opportunities in its external environment.  Such planning is a starting point for businesses that wish to establish a new strategy or re-visit their existing strategy.    

Warnings Development

Using our own participatory SMART process for warning development we examine hazards and risk perceptions, prototype warning messages and symbols, refine them as necessary, and test their effectiveness by key safety metrics such as comprehension and behavioral compliance. 

Ergonomics Training

Error Analysis consultants are all board-certified ergonomists with experience in classroom teaching and field training.  We conduct training needs assessments and deliver quality content in various media that impart the job-related ergonomics knowledge and skills people need to prevent injuries.

Safety Perception Surveys

Our research and experience tell us that certain human factors, job factors, and organizational factors influence critical safety behaviors.  Error Analysis consultants can guide you through the survey process aimed at measuring those factors from development to administration to validation to feedback.
