Workplace Ergonomics
Our certified ergonomic specialists work directly with employers to design safer, more efficient work environments. By aligning workplace demands with human capabilities, our ergonomic services reduce physical strain, prevent costly Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), and ensure full compliance with provincial health and safety regulations.
Whether you need a single office workstation evaluation or a complete, facility-wide ergonomic program, our evidence-based solutions keep your workforce safe, comfortable, and performing at their best.

Ergonomics & Specialized Assessments
Our certified evaluators conduct objective, data-driven assessments to identify root causes of physical discomfort, quantify risks, and guide return-to-work strategies.
Ergonomic / MSD Risk Assessments
- Comprehensive Hazard Identification: In-depth evaluation of high-risk tasks involving repetitive movements, awkward postures, heavy lifting, vibration, or contact stress.
- Quantifiable Scoring: Using industry-standard toolkits (e.g., NIOSH, RULA, REBA, Snook Tables) to assign objective risk levels and prioritize interventions.
- Corrective Action Plans: Detailed reports prioritizing engineering controls, administrative adjustments, and practical workspace fixes.
Physical Demands Analyses (PDA)
- Objective Work Breakdown: Clear, quantifiable documentation of all physical requirements of a job—including lifting limits, forces, frequencies, positions, and durations.
- Insurance & Claims Support: Essential documentation for claims management (WSIB / WCB / STD / LTD) to establish clear baseline demands for treating physicians.
Cognitive Demands Analyses (CDA)
- Mental Requirements Assessment: Evaluating job requirements related to memory, attention, executive functioning, communication, and decision-making speed.
- Safety-Critical Roles: Ensuring workers in high-consequence roles possess the cognitive support and environmental conditions required to prevent human error.
Office & Remote Workstation Assessments
- Onsite Office Evaluations: One-on-one evaluations for employees experiencing discomfort or pain at their desks, complete with immediate equipment adjustments.
- Virtual Remote Assessments: Interactive video assessments for hybrid and work-from-home staff, providing remote guidance on home-office ergonomics.
Injury Compatibility Assessments
- Match Physical Capabilities to Tasks: Clinical evaluation comparing an injured worker’s current functional abilities against the actual demands of their job.
- Identify Barriers: Pinpointing specific physical tasks that could cause re-injury, allowing employers to implement precise modifications.
Return-to-Work Programs & Assessments
- Graduated Accommodation Plans: Designing structured, task-specific return-to-work plans that safely increase duty demands over time.
- Sustainable Integration: Partnering with healthcare providers to transition employees from modified duties back to full-time pre-injury roles smoothly.
Ergonomic Design & Workstation Reviews
- Pre-Construction & Layout Planning: Reviewing floor plans, assembly line designs, or architectural blueprints before construction to build safety in from day one.
- Proactive Tool & Machinery Selection: Evaluating new equipment and tooling prior to purchase to prevent introducing hidden biomechanical hazards.
