Ergonomics for all Work Sites
Office, Construction Sites, Warehouse, Manufacturing and More
When most people think of injury, they think of a specific instance; like, “I sprained my ankle.” or “I threw my back out moving furniture.”.
While many injuries are single occurrences, there are a larger number of injuries that happen over time with repetitive movements. The risk of injury increases if these movements are not natural motions. A good ergonomics program evaluates the work area and then offers recommendations that will allow the body to move more efficiently.
ErgoRight is a proprietary ergonomic tool developed by OSSPT that integrates validated assessment methods like the REBA/RULA with subjective insights from expert physical therapists.
By integrating objective risk scores with observations of a person’s movements, work patterns, posture, body positioning, and repetitive tasks, OSSPT is able to deliver tailored feedback and solutions focused on minimizing injury risks.

Recommend
We provide recommendations based upon our analysis.
