About Performance Ergonomics

Performance Ergonomics focuses on preventing workplace injuries through comprehensive ergonomic assessments and solutions. Our team of certified ergonomists and safety professionals understands that many workplace injuries develop over time from poor ergonomic conditions rather than sudden accidents. We've helped hundreds of Phoenix-area businesses reduce workers' compensation claims, improve employee comfort, and increase productivity through better workplace design. Our approach combines scientific analysis with practical solutions that work in real business environments. We don't just identify problems – we provide cost-effective solutions that prevent injuries and improve job satisfaction.

How They Can Help

Our core services include comprehensive ergonomic evaluations of workstations, manufacturing processes, and office environments. We conduct detailed assessments measuring force requirements, repetitive motions, awkward postures, and environmental factors that contribute to injury risk. We provide workstation design and modification services, equipment recommendations, and employee training programs. Our solutions range from simple adjustments to comprehensive workplace redesign, always focusing on cost-effective improvements that provide measurable results. We also offer injury prevention programs specifically designed for high-risk jobs and employees returning from injury. Ongoing services include regular reassessments as work processes change, new employee evaluations, and refresher training to maintain good ergonomic practices. We work closely with HR departments and management teams to integrate ergonomic considerations into standard operating procedures and new equipment purchases.

What to Expect

Our process begins with detailed workplace analysis including job observation, employee interviews, and measurement of physical demands. We use scientific assessment tools to quantify risk factors and prioritize improvement opportunities based on injury potential and cost-benefit analysis. We develop customized improvement plans that balance worker protection with operational requirements and budget constraints. Our recommendations include immediate fixes, medium-term improvements, and long-term workplace design changes. We provide detailed implementation guidance and can assist with equipment selection and installation. Follow-up services include effectiveness monitoring, employee feedback collection, and program adjustments as needed. We measure success through reduced injury rates, improved employee comfort scores, and decreased workers' compensation costs. Our long-term partnerships help maintain ergonomic improvements and address new challenges as businesses evolve.

Service Area

We serve the Phoenix metropolitan area including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Glendale. Our services extend throughout central Arizona, covering major business districts and industrial areas in Maricopa County. For larger clients or specialized assessments, we can provide services throughout Arizona and neighboring states. Our Phoenix location provides convenient access to the majority of Arizona's business centers while keeping travel costs reasonable for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between ergonomics and general safety?
Ergonomics focuses specifically on fitting the job to the person, preventing injuries from repetitive stress, poor postures, and overexertion. General safety addresses immediate hazards while ergonomics prevents long-term injury development.
How do you measure ergonomic risk factors?
We use various tools including force gauges, postural analysis software, and standardized assessment methods to quantify physical demands. This data helps prioritize improvements and demonstrate the need for changes.
Can ergonomic improvements really reduce workers' comp costs?
Yes, studies consistently show that good ergonomic programs reduce injury rates by 20-50%. Many clients see reduced premiums and fewer claims within the first year of implementing our recommendations.
What types of injuries does ergonomics prevent?
Ergonomics primarily prevents musculoskeletal disorders including back injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder strain, and neck pain. These account for about 30% of all workers' compensation claims.
Do you work with employees who already have injuries?
Yes, we provide return-to-work assessments and job modifications for injured employees. Our goal is to help them return safely while preventing similar injuries to other workers.
How often should ergonomic assessments be updated?
We recommend reassessments when job tasks change significantly, new equipment is introduced, or injury patterns suggest emerging problems. Annual reviews help maintain improvements and address new challenges.
What's included in employee ergonomic training?
Training covers proper body mechanics, workstation adjustment procedures, recognition of early warning signs of injury, and strategies for maintaining good ergonomic practices throughout the workday.
Can you help select ergonomic equipment and furniture?
Yes, we provide equipment recommendations based on specific job requirements and can assist with vendor selection. We focus on products that provide good value and will actually be used by employees.
