Musculoskeletal disorders are conditions affecting the muscles, nerves, tendons, and other tissues, often caused by workplace factors like repetitive motion, awkward postures, forceful exertions, and vibration. Common examples include back injuries, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sprain. Ergonomics is the science of fitting jobs, workstations, and equipment to workers to prevent these disorders, reduce fatigue, and increase productivity.
Ergonomics isn’t just about comfort, it’s about safety, productivity, and protecting your bottom line. Musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic-related injuries are among the most common workplace incidents, and they carry a steep price. From lost workdays and increased workers’ compensation costs to decreased morale and productivity, the impact on businesses can be significant.
That’s why we’re excited to announce enhancements to the Risk & Safety Ergonomics Program. By applying ergonomic principles, businesses can minimize the risk factors for MSDs, leading to a healthier and safer work environment. The program is designed to better identify risks, prevent injuries and help organizations create safer, more efficient workplaces. At the center of this effort is the TuMeke app, a cutting-edge ergonomics assessment tool. TuMeke uses AI-driven video analysis to evaluate posture, movement, and workstation setup in real time. This allows our consultants to deliver fast, accurate assessments and targeted recommendations—helping employees work smarter and safer.
By combining advanced tools with our team’s expertise, we’re giving businesses a proactive way to reduce risks, lower costs, and boost employee well-being!
