Industrial or non-office environments are generally at risk for upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders and back injuries. Each case of an upper extremity cumulative trauma disorder can cost $30,000 in direct costs and a back injury may cost as much as $45,000.

Our consultation services are designed to provide several important results for the client: (1) risk potential per task for developing a cumulative trauma disorder or back injury, (2) current level of physical discomfort indicating the potential for new cases, (3) cost effective hazard prevention and control strategies, (4) vendor information, and (5) critical return-to-work information.

PHSC specializes in performing ergonomics consulting services in non-office environments including energy services, manufacturing, transportation, construction, and several other industries. Our consultants have several year's experience and maintain awareness of the latest research and tools available in this area. We are adept at applying tools for analyzing manual material handling tasks and evaluating biomechanical forces involved. Also, we can evaluate the physiological cost of work. Our approach also considers environmental effects including noise, vibration, and temperature. Our preferred approach is to make quantitative measurements where possible, but are certainly skilled in more subjective measures. We have developed prioritization tools for identifying which tasks need to be evaluated and intervened with first.

We are specialists in bringing together the behavior based approach to our consultations. We look for opportunities to have the employees work with us to identify issues and develop solutions. We look for those instances where the behaviors, either personal or organizational, are incongruent with the safe and efficient use of the system.

Our assessments are completed using checklists, records reviews, software, and other ergonomic tools including the latest technical principles and a report for each task observed is generated and presented to client management.

We look forward to meeting with you to determine your needs.
