Ergonomics & Manual Handling from St Judes.

Ergonomics is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Ergonomics can be applied to all ages, at work and school (desks, offices, factories and in the car) at home (cleaning, cooking, playing computer games) and during recreation (gardening, sport, phone texting).

Our Ergonomics specialists analyse work related tasks to effect change to minimise the physical strain. We aim to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise your performance, whilst protecting your health, safety and well-being.

Good reasons why our Ergonomic specialists can help you:

• Relieve neck pain, back pain and Repetitive Strain Injury and Work Related Upper Limb Disorders
• Identify awkward postures (working joints and limbs out of a neutral position)
• Identify static postures (holding postures without rest periods)
• Identify repetitive movements (without adequate breaks)
• Identify over exertion (fatigues muscle groups)
• Identify contact stress (applying pressure for prolonged periods)
• Identify vibration (from hand tools or surfaces such as driving seats)

We will select and help you implement the best solution, be that physical re-design (equipment/workstation), job redesign (tasks and organisation), behaviour redesign (training and rotation of tasks).
