Injury Prevention
ErgoWorks offers comprehensive injury prevention services, including onsite therapists certified in ergonomics and who specialize in injury prevention for employers. Our Minnesota-licensed therapists use OSHA First Aid for musculoskeletal soreness. Employers can make a simple visit request. Our highly skilled therapy team will then apply these strategies to reduce soreness and discomfort, promote the employee's understanding, and teach them best practices for independent use.
Ergonomics
Our holistic approach includes office and industrial ergonomics consultations. To determine ergonomic hazards and mitigate risk, our ergonomics-certified therapists assess workstations, equipment, tools, and the environment. Post-assessment, ErgoWorks provides a detailed report as well as customized solutions in a variety of budgets for decreasing ergonomic risk.
Job Analysis and Physical Abilities Testing
Our trained, licensed therapists at ErgoWorks work with employers to determine the essential functions and physical demands for specific roles in their company. The resulting document is used as a guiding tool to reduce physical demands on employees, apply ergonomic recommendations, or update job descriptions. From there, we create a functionally-based Physical Abilities Test to attract the right employees with matching skills and physical capabilities.
Return To Work Services
Our Return to Work program provides injured employees with comprehensive support, ensuring a quick and safe transition back to the workplace. To do this, ErgoWorks creates a Temporary Transitional Duty (AKA Light Duty) list to communicate with medical providers and accommodate the employee with tasks that are in their workability.

"Beth and the ErgoWorks team performed functional job analyses of several of our field and office positions. The functional JHA enabled us to verify or update the job’s essential duties, skills, and physical demands. In addition, information gathered has been beneficial improving risk management (i.e., injury prevention, ergonomic assessments, ADA compliance, identification of training/ development needs) within our organization."
