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. Our highly skilled therapy team reduces the employee's soreness and discomfort using OSHA First Aid, education, job observation, and our dynamic movment program. Our therapists also teach the employee best practices for independent use of home care for continued healing.
Ergonomics
Our holistic approach includes office and industrial ergonomics evaluations. 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 for decreasing ergonomic risk. We support and collaborate with employers for ergonomic program compliance, implementation, and management.
Job Analysis
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. Job Analysis can also be paired with an ergonomic assessment for added risk analysis.
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.
