Create safer, more efficient industrial workspaces
At Injury Prevention Plus, we understand that every worker's body, role, and environment is unique. Industrial environments, from manufacturing floors and warehouses to logistics hubs and field operations, expose workers to physical demands that office-based ergonomics simply cannot address. That's where industrial ergonomics makes the difference.
Our individual industrial ergonomic assessments apply the principles of ergonomics to evaluate each worker's specific tasks, postures, tools, and environment, delivering personalized, actionable recommendations that reduce injury risk, improve comfort, and support long-term performance, one person at a time.
Why does ergonomics matter in industrial settings?
Industrial environments pose unique physical health challenges that can lead to:
Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) from high-frequency, low-variation tasks
Overexertion and acute injury from manual material handling
Cumulative musculoskeletal disorders from prolonged awkward postures
Lost time injuries and increased WSIB and workers' compensation claims
Reduced productivity, morale, and long-term workforce retention
A proactive approach to industrial ergonomics, starting with individualized assessment, is the most effective way to identify and address these risks before they become injuries, claims, or lost-time incidents.
What's included in an individual industrial ergonomic assessment?
Each on-site assessment is tailored to the individual worker's role, environment, and physical history. Our ergonomist evaluates:
One-on-one evaluation at the employee's workstation or job site
Review of physical discomfort, medical history, and current job demands
Analysis of repetitive tasks, lifting techniques, and forceful movements
Posture, reach, and workstation or task layout assessment
Evaluation of tools, equipment, and PPE for ergonomic fit and suitability
On-the-spot coaching to adjust posture, technique, or equipment use
Actionable ergonomic improvement recommendations specific to the role
How does the assessment process work?
STEP 1 : Pre-assessment intake
We gather information about the worker's role, physical demands, discomfort history, and any existing accommodations or restrictions.
STEP 2 : On-site job observation
An ergonomist attends the worksite to observe the worker performing their actual tasks in their real environment.
STEP 3 : Real-time coaching & adjustments
Immediate technique, posture, or equipment adjustments are made during the session with hands-on guidance for the worker.
STEP 4 : Detailed report delivery
A comprehensive written report is delivered with findings, recommendations, tool or modification suggestions, and follow-up options.
What do you receive after the assessment?
Personalized report
A detailed written report documenting observations, risk factors identified, and evidence-based recommendations.
On-the-spot coaching
Immediate guidance on posture, technique, and equipment adjustments delivered during the assessment session.
Tool & equipment recommendations
