Ergonomics Services
Burns Bridge has decades of experience with "ergonomics" and the substantial economic benefits which ensue in well designed jobs. While well designed jobs can prevent many repetitive strain and soft tissue injuries, there is also a strong economic benefit to employers in the form of much better productivity. An employee has a finite amount of work which can be completed in a typical eight hour shift. A well designed ergonomic job can easily triple productivity, while more importantly, reducing the probability of injury.
Contrary to popular myth, Burns Bridge has found that there is a significant risk of incurring soft tissue or repetitive strain injuries in so-called low repetition jobs. Burns Bridge can provide guidance on how to mitigate such risks down to almost zero.
Burns Bridge can provide workplace ergonomic assessments or in the alternative where there is a high injury rate problem, recommend appropriate low cost solutions to mitigate and eliminate injury risk.
