This web based product does three things very well!

JOB EVALUATION SUITE EVALUATE LIFTING, HANDS AND ARMS, OR COMPUTER TASKS

1. TRAINING: Our ergonomics training empowers employees with

knowledge and skills to help them identify and solve their own unique

problems.

2. REPORTING: The reporting section provides management with reports

indicating the level of risk for both the work environment and the individual.

This information enables management to effectively set priorities for

reducing risk, allocating resources, establishing accountability, and

monitoring improvement goals.

3. OSHA COMPLIANCE: The application provides the critical

documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance with existing and

proposed state and federal regulations for ergonomics.

1. Employee Training

Having the skills to identify risks means having the ability to reduce risks.

Increases Skills

The training offers “common sense” tools taken from the science of

ergonomics to help people understand and improve their own work

environment and work practices.

Improves Communications

The training provides employees with the skills to become a vital and active

participant in reducing risks.

Saves Time and Money

Distributing the training over the web saves time and money. The training can

occur anywhere there is a computer and at a time convenient to the individual.

You can even include custom training videos, animations and graphics!

One of the Job Evaluation Suite’s unique features is its ability to identify

high-risk areas anywhere within the company.

Users receive the skills and tools necessary to evaluate their own work

habits and working conditions. This data is captured and accessed via a

web-based application. With measurable results in hand, management can

create a proactive process to improve workplace efficiency and safety.

2. Management Reports

Our exclusive Reporting System is unparalleled. With one touch, you can identify levels of risk for the entire company, the location, the department, or the individual.

3. Meeting or Exceeding Any Ergonomics Standard or Requirement

If you have an effective and documented ergonomics process in place, you already meet the requirements of any existing or potential standard.

The Job Evaluation Suite complies with OSHA regulations

and voluntary programs because it:

Provides basic ergonomics training for all employees and more

detailed training on an as-needed basis.

Creates a participatory process in which employees complete a

personal evaluation of their work environment and work practices.

Produces reports that track the effects of corrective actions and

preventative measures.

Creates the documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance

with the requirements listed above.

A Cumulative Trauma Injuryis a Sign of an Inefficient Task

If pain and discomfort are present, human performance is reduced and the

chance of cumulative trauma injury is increased. Rather than focusing on the

lagging indicator of prior injuries, the Job Evaluation Suite concentrates on

quantifying the levels of risks. Management and employees can now reduce

risks rather than waiting and reacting to injuries.

This amazing tool helps you focus on reducing risks, not chasing problems!

How can you be proactive if you don’t know where the risks are?

Our Job Evaluation Suite Saves Money

Unfortunately, an injury comes to management’s attention only after the injury

occurs. After an injury occurs companies have a tendency to go into reactive

overdrive, making expensive and wholesale changes in the hope of reducing

future injuries. Our Job Evaluation Suite avoids this situation by identifying

high-risk areas and then tracking the effectiveness of programs designed to

reduce risks.

You cannot reduce injuries, because an injury is an event that has already occurred. However, you can reduce the chance of injury by reducing risks.

The user selects his/her name, and then selects from a list of identifiers such as business unit, location, and/or department. The titles and the number of these identifiers are customized for each organization. The job evaluation tools allow the user to evaluate tasks involving lifting, hands and arms, or computers.“Judy” instructs the user to begin evaluating a “Lifting” task by clicking on the word “Weight.”

By removing or adding database filters, the reports can be customized to present any desired data. The screen below shows a global report identifying the average score followed by the number of evaluations conducted and the range of upper and lower scores.
