Ergonomics Assessment
Workstation and task-level ergonomic assessments to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and improve worker comfort and productivity.
About This Service
Overview
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the leading causes of workplace injury and absenteeism globally. Poor workstation design, repetitive motions, awkward postures, and manual handling tasks all contribute to MSD risk. DASH Consult provides ergonomic assessments that identify these risk factors and recommend practical interventions.
Our ergonomists use validated assessment tools including RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment), REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment), NIOSH Lifting Equation, and Strain Index analysis. For office environments, we evaluate workstation setup, monitor positioning, chair adjustment, keyboard and mouse placement, and lighting conditions.
For industrial and manual handling tasks, we assess lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling activities, as well as repetitive motion tasks and prolonged static postures. Recommendations range from simple workstation adjustments and equipment modifications to task redesign and job rotation schedules.
