Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the science of designing the workplace keeping in mind the capabilities and limitations of the worker. Poor worksite design leads to fatigued, frustrated and hurting workers. This rarely leads to the most productive worker. More likely, it leads to a painful and costly injury, lower productivity and poor product quality.

A systematic ergonomics improvement process removes risk factors that lead to musculoskeletal injuries and allows for improved human performance and productivity.

Industrial environments vary from factories with hundreds of operators performing short-cycle jobs to field personnel conducting non-routine tasks. ISDC’s ergonomists are experienced in finding practical solutions to shop-floor challenges and can teach you to spot and resolve developing ergonomics concerns by providing the tools and techniques to identify issues, prioritize challenges, and implement low-cost, high-impact solutions.
