Ergonomics, Friend or Foe?
It’s not just about your employee’s chair.
Basic

With the potential loss of $45-54 billion in compensation, lost wages and decreased productivity annually, focusing on ergonomic health is good business!  Ergonomics, in contrast to other health, safety and environmental services, can yield a positive return on investment. In addition to cost avoidance through injury prevention, ergonomics can yield increased individual and department productivity, reduce labor requirements and turnover, improved quality which reduces waste and rework, and improved job/worker satisfaction. This presentation will show you how much positive impact ergonomics can make in your business and why it should be part of the way you do business.
