Workplace ergonomics assessment

Industrial companies are facing an increase in musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) linked to poorly adapted workstations, which affects productivity, quality, and operators’ health.

A workplace ergonomics assessment analyzes work situations, evaluates physical workload, maps the risks of musculoskeletal disorders, and proposes ergonomic adjustments compliant with RULA/REBA methods, thereby ensuring sustainable prevention and improving work organization.

Our approach

• Field audit of workstations and observation of work procedures
• Structured interviews with employees and managers to identify perceived ergonomic constraints
• Analysis of the data collected against ergonomic standards and industry best practices
• Development of workplace layout scenarios and simulation of ergonomic solutions
• Presentation of results and validation of recommendations with stakeholders

Deliverables

• Detailed ergonomic assessment report including diagnoses, analyses, and recommendations
• Prioritized ergonomic action plan with timeline and monitoring indicators
• Technical workstation layout sheets (postures, equipment, tools)
• Ergonomic best practices guide for employees and supervisors
• Concise presentation of conclusions and areas for improvement to management teams

Assignment process

Estimated duration: 3 to 5 weeks
