	Ergonomic consulting qualifies as Injury Prevention Programming (IPP) and helps your company meet federally mandated OSHA standards concerning employee health and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. Licensed physical therapists provide ergonomic education and consultations that can be underwritten by your company as 100% tax deductible. Ergonomics can be implemented as an educational in-service to all employees or as intervention for individuals requiring workstation redesign. What is Ergonomics? Ergonomics is the science of designing workplaces, machines and tasks according to the capabilities and limitations of the human body. In many cases, an ergonomic intervention can reduce or prevent work-related injuries simply by adjusting an employee’s workstation. An Ergonomics In-service is a short presentation for the company population which educates employees about simple measures to prevent injury. It consists of four parts:   1 Management and employee education   2 Training   3 Workplace design/redesign   4 Fitness Should an employee report symptoms or injury, an Ergonomic Consultation may assist in making tasks more comfortable and efficient by relieving the individual of strained physical positions. Even minor symptoms indicate a problem that may develop if not appropriately addressed. Many times, simple, inexpensive ergonomic modifications make a dramatic difference in a person’s health and happiness. Integrating an ergonomic program is an investment in your personnel. By optimizing workstations, you can optimize your workforce while reducing pain and symptoms related to improper physical mechanics. When your company starts to show a lower rate of injury incident and fewer worker’s compensation claims, insurance premiums will decrease in proportion. The ROI can be a significant sum on your company’s bottom line. Furthermore, company healthcare benefits may even cover the cost of implementing Ergonomics Injury Prevention Programming.		—  Home —  About —  Founder —  Massage —  Ergonomics —  Chiropractic —  Ayurveda —  Yoga / Meditation —  Frequently Asked Questions —  Benefits —  Contact
