2013 Ergonomics and MSD Prevention Resources

1. The Ultimate Guide to MSD Prevention
Early in 2013, we revamped our comprehensive, 52 page guide to MSD prevention.

2. Injury Prevention and Wellness Handouts
Download the injury prevention and wellness handouts we use for clients every day. They’re an effective (and inexpensive) way to promote health and educate team members on MSD prevention tools and techniques. We added 30 new handouts to the archive in 2013.

3. Step-by-Step Guides to our Recommended Ergonomic Assessment Tools
An effective ergonomics improvement process requires a systematic approach for conducting ergonomic risk assessments for every job in the workplace. Learn how with our step by step guides.

4. A Safety Manager’s Guide to Early Intervention
The early warning signs of future injuries are present in your workforce today. The question is, what are you going to do about it? Early intervention is a proactive strategy designed to discover early warning signs of MSDs and prevent the early warning signs from developing into an injury. And that is what this Ebook is all about.

5. A Safety Manager’s Guide to Evaluation
Are you effectively measuring and evaluating your ergonomics and MSD prevention process to drive performance improvements? If you’re struggling with this (or if you want to improve), download A Safety Manager’s Guide to Evaluation for practical and specific action steps you can take today.

6. A Safety Manager’s Guide to Education
The benefits of successful execution of your ergonomics process are many; reduced injuries and associated costs, productivity improvements and better product quality, to name just a few. To realize these benefits, though, you’ll need a well-trained and well-equipped workforce to support your ergonomics process. And that’s what this Ebook is all about.

7. Employee Ergonomics Survey
The real expert at taking care of employees’ bodies at work is … the employee! Their input is an important part of determining work areas and practices that lead to excessive fatigue and discomfort. Download a free PDF version of the employee ergonomics survey we use for clients.

8. Office Ergonomics Checklist
A sound office ergonomics program is part of your company’s commitment to maintaining a safe place of work for employees. Properly designed computer workstations help employees feel comfortable and possibly increases their productivity. Download our free office ergonomics checklist and ensure your employees’ workstations are set up correctly.

9. Ergonomics Plus Audit
Do you have all of the elements of an effective MSD prevention and ergonomics process in place at your facility? Download our comprehensive audit to find out.

10. A Step-by-Step Guide to Job Rotation
Job rotation is the structured interchange of workers between different jobs, requiring workers to rotate between different workstations or jobs at certain time intervals. It’s an administrative control that, done well, can reduce injury risk. All too often though, job rotation schedules are developed haphazardly. That’s why we created this Step-by-Step Guide to Job Rotation.

11. Ergonomics Plus Monthly Report Example
As an Ergonomics Plus client, part of the communication you’ll receive is a monthly report. It includes a summary of all activity as well as details on each element of the ergonomics and MSD prevention process.

12. Cost Benefit Analysis of Ergonomics Plus Services
A good way for managers to make buying decisions is to conduct a Cost Benefit Analysis to estimate a return on your investment. We’ve put this handy spreadsheet together to help make your decision to partner with us a little easier.

13. Webinar — How to Prevent MSDs and Maximize Human Performance
