Ergonomics Consulting
The Back School has been providing OSHA-compliant ergonomics consulting services to employers for over 35 years.
Because each organization and its processes, procedures and needs vary greatly, each consulting engagement is customized to that organization.
Whether the issue at hand is a high injury rate and costly workers' comp premiums, increased risk of injury due to job requirements, or lack of employee productivity due to discomfort, fatigue or absenses from work, we will assess the environment and risk factors, and develop a focused, actionable custom solution resulting in a sustainable return on investment year after year: decreased injury/lower workers' comp costs; reduced injury risk; higher employee morale, productivity and job satisfaction.
Our customized programs are implemented onsite by The Back School and include direct interaction with the employer’s workforce.
Ron Porter, Director of The Back School, is one of 5 individuals to receive the prestigious American Society of Safety Engineers President's Award in 2016. This honor is presented by the ASSE President in recognition of special service to the Society.
We have worked with over 500 companies, from small to Fortune 100, comprising a diversified range of industries (including government agencies, the military and insurance companies) in industrial/manufacturing, healthcare and office environments.
