Manage Discomfort

All the best strategies around having a safe workplace and helping employees work safely does not guarantee success.  Sometimes employees and managers need some help to manage an injury (or discomfort).

  

Body Part Discomfort Survey

If you are not sure where to start with your workplace ergonomics activity, our confidential, on-line discomfort survey may be the best first step.  ErgoRisk has developed a simple, online screening tool to help identify and prioritize musculoskeletal injury symptoms that are lurking in your office – before they become a bigger problem.  Our simple online tool takes less than 5 minutes per person to complete.  Your worker’s comments are collected and summarized by us to promote accurate reporting.  We also provide a detailed summary report so that prioritized action can be initiated.

Early Intervention / First Aid Follow-up

MSI's often cannot be pinpointed to a single cause. The goal must be to avoid and/or manage all injuries that affect the individual and their ability to perform their job, regardless of whether causes were primarily work or non-work related.   We can assist in providing a good functional assessment for the affected worker and making recommendations about safe work duties that allow healing.

 

Mobile Therapy

Many employees wait too long to get their work or non-work related aches and pains addressed. This can be one of the most detrimental barriers to avoiding the development of serious MSI's.   Many of our best clients have brought in an ErgoRisk therapist to do assessment and treatment on site.  The human and financial savings are well proven.

 

Job Attached Rehabilitation

ErgoRisk staff provides rehabilitation services involving symptom management, exercise therapy, functional progression and hands on therapeutic intervention by athletic and/or physical therapists.  We believe the workplace can be the best place for an employee recovering from injury as long as the process is well managed and the job duties help encourage proper healing.
