Excel Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the science that facilitates maximum productivity, consistent quality and long-term worker health and safety.

Of these three goals the most challenging is the long-term health and safety of the worker. This aspect of health and safety takes into account a spectrum of injury and illness prevention goals. Cumulative trauma and repetitive motion injuries (RMI's) are among the most challenging.

The new CAL OSHA regulation 5110 under the authority of California Labor Code Section 6357, underscores to employers the importance of establishing and implementing an ergonomic program including worksite evaluations, the control of ergonomic hazards and employee training. Excel Ergo can help you achieve these. It's good sound preventative medicine for workplace injuries.

Worksite Evaluations

Excel Ergo utilizes the science of ergonomics as an injury reduction strategy. As part of our evaluation, we attempt to arrive at an objective system to measure ergonomic risk. Our system attempts to be as objective as possible, while at the same time it is flexible and considers all job situations.

Control of Ergonomic Hazards

Our evaluation provides consistent and easily applied solutions which at the same time are very practical to implement. Excel Ergo determines ergonomic needs in specific areas, performs the analyses of those targeted areas (including risk factors), recommends various interventions to decrease or eliminate potential hazardous conditions, researches the interventions and follows-up with all parties on the implementation of the recommendations. This can be directly inserted into your SB198 plan. Excel Ergo also tracks the effectiveness of those interventions. A comprehensive report is generated that will contain an assessment of the specific workstation(s), identification of potentially hazardous conditions and suggestions for improving the workstation(s).

Employee Training

Excel Ergo also provides training to supervisors and employees in basic principles of ergonomics. Training would involve employee work methods, cumulative trauma, basics of prevention including movement, exercise, task variety and arranging ones work area.

Excel Ergo works with both small and large employers. We can evaluate one workstation or provide an assessment of an employers entire facility. We will also assist employers develop and implement ergonomic programs.
