December 2011: Feature Focus - The Ergonomic Injury Firewall (Applied Behavioral Analysis)

Ergonomics-related injuries, including musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by repetitive strains, continue to be a serious major economic problem for employers but, in this economy, how do ergonomic professionals meet management expectations of “doing more with less”?

In every major scientific study and regulation on computer users world-wide, two major risk areas have been identified – pacing and posture.

You're probably well aware that taking well-timed brief breaks while using the computer is vital to managing repetition patterns which are so deleterious to comfort, fatigue and productivity and precede increased healthcare utilization and injury.

Perhaps you've already made sure that employees were told to take these brief micro-breaks in some type of training program, yet you haven't achieved anywhere near the major returns cited by some companies from their efforts. 

The good news is that you can effectively and easily address this, precisely measure the returns and success of your efforts, report hard impact numbers and control the entire process. To do this, you will effortlessly leverage the sciences of Human Biomechanics and Applied Behavioral Analysis.

Are you looking to dramatically reduce injury rates and healthcare over-utilization?

At the end of the day, you were right all along and just need to supplement your training programs with a powerful, simple and effective mechanism to unleash the vast economic power within micro-breaking. In practice, it's so easy, a child can do it - with the right tools.

Let's clinically bring the question of active desktop ergonomic reinforcement closer to home and explore it through a brief analogous discussion:

Why does every new car come with an active seat-belt reminder system? 

Data-driven science tell us why.  More...

November 2011: Good Ergonomics = Good Economics. For 40 years, Human Factors experts studied computer related injuries and knowledge-worker productivity. The two major risk areas have been identified – pacing and posture. Eventually, U.S. states, countries and the EU have published regulations and guidelines on computer pacing and posture. Why?

Today, the informed focus is on engineering (workstation) and administrative (behavioral) controls. Is it enough to tell people in a video to "sit correctly and take breaks"? Our clients tell us that even the finest training falls victim to “out of sight out of mind” unless real-time reinforced.

A Major Project?  Hardly.  With de minimus effort, you can empower employees with tools to self-determine and resolve many issues directly and, when needed, request further professional assistance. You shape and fully control the model. You can share the responsibility with your employees in a true partnership which will yield lower injury rates/costs, lower healthcare utilization and higher output and quality.

Chasing Pennies?  Not one of our clients has the time to chase pennies.  Beyond regulatory compliance, reducing risk, reducing injuries, reducing Workers Comp premiums, reducing healthcare utilization - productivity is significantly and sustainably increased when you reduce knowledge-worker fatigue.  It's working smarter.  You will objectively measure and easily report on this in your own environment.  Learn More...

Very Complicated?  Respectfully, this is not the Hammurabi Code of ancient Babylonia.  Big picture:  40 years of research, best practices and regulations developed, Fortune 100 holistic long term continued use...  Risk?  Walk in the footsteps of giants, sleep comfortably and measure the rewards of your efforts.
