Human Factors & Ergonomics
Musculoskeletal injuries are a significant cause of ill health absence and lost time for many businesses.
Ergonomics is concerned with designing and arranging things so people are more comfortable, efficient and effective at work. Looking at ergonomic risks can contribute to reducing stress, harm to health and injury caused by incorrect positioning and repetitive tasks. Injuries and illnesses at work can be costly to both the individuals they affect and the organisation in terms of time and money.

Park’s Ergonomic Risk Assessment Tool
The key to our innovation is consistency across a wide range of exposure risks. This innovative approach enables organisations to develop a single point toolkit for consistency in risk assessment compilation. Application of the toolkit allows users to select the key areas of ergonomic risk under investigation, make a compliant and comprehensive assessment of the risks, outputting clear and prioritised actions to adequately mitigate that risk.
The toolkit also usefully allows a top level overview of company or local area specific risk profiling so business leaders have clear oversight of their ergonomic and musculoskeletal risks, how they arise and who might be affected.
Park can provide training and support in use of the toolkit and can adapt the model to best suit your needs.
