Why Ergonomics Matter

Ergonomic optimization can help prevent:

  • Low productivity and output
  • Lost work time
  • Increased medical and material costs
  • Absenteeism and burnout
  • Musculoskeletal injuries (e.g., strains, sprains)
  • Workplace accidents and human error

Ergonomic assessments are also valuable for:

  • Supporting recovery from motor vehicle accidents, slips, and falls
  • Evaluating how workplace setup affects injury rehabilitation
  • Reducing long-term disability claims and insurance costs

Beyond Assessment: Injury Support & Treatment

Identifying ergonomic risks is just the beginning. If an injury is present, our physical therapists and occupational therapists are trained to:

  • Diagnose contributing factors
  • Recommend targeted treatment plans
  • Integrate Leading Edge’s specialized services to reduce or eliminate underlying conditions

We don’t just assess—we help your team recover, thrive, and stay safe.

Ergonomics comes from the Greek “ergo” (work) and “nomos” (rules, natural law). It involves fitting a task to the human performing it. The Association of Canadian Ergonomists defines ergonomics as “a scientific discipline concerned with interactions among humans and other elements of a system (e.g., the tools, equipment, products, tasks, organization, technology, and environment). The profession applies theory, principles, data, methods and analysis in order to optimize human well-being and overall performance.”

 

Ergonomics works through a knowledge of proper positioning of the human body when performing tasks. The primary reason to have an ergonomic assessment is to assess and identify risk factors, which may increase the probability of an accident, disease, or failure.

Making changes to the work environment will help to mitigate those risk factors identified and can help to reduce the chances of injury and work time lost.

Ergonomic assessments can be performed in an office or commercial/industrial type of setting. Our evaluator will look for components at your or your employees job such as repetitive movements, abnormal postures, mechanical stressors and forceful exertions, which may cause problems for a worker.
