The Body At Work Ergonomics Training and Consulting

The Body At Work Ergonomics Training and Consulting brings a unique perspective to workplace safety by combining physical therapy expertise with OSHA compliance knowledge. Founded by certified ergonomics professionals, they understand how workplace injuries develop and what it takes to prevent them effectively. Serving businesses throughout the Chicago suburbs for over eight years, they've helped reduce workplace injuries by an average of 40% in their client companies. Their approach goes beyond basic compliance to create safer, more productive work environments. They work with manufacturing facilities, offices, healthcare systems, and distribution centers to identify risks before they become costly problems.

Their comprehensive safety services include OSHA compliance audits that identify violations before inspectors arrive, potentially saving thousands in fines. Workplace safety training covers topics like proper lifting techniques, hazard recognition, and emergency procedures, with sessions tailored to your industry's specific risks. Hazard assessments examine everything from ergonomic workstations to chemical storage areas, providing detailed reports with prioritized recommendations. They develop custom safety programs that meet OSHA standards while fitting your company culture and budget constraints. Fire safety services include evacuation planning, extinguisher training, and compliance with local fire codes. Their ergonomic evaluations help prevent repetitive strain injuries that cost companies millions annually in workers' compensation claims. They also provide incident investigation services when accidents occur, helping you understand root causes and prevent recurrence.

Your safety consultation begins with a comprehensive facility walkthrough where they observe operations and interview employees about safety concerns. They'll document potential hazards using digital tools and photography for detailed reporting. Within one week, you'll receive a prioritized action plan identifying immediate risks and long-term improvements. Implementation support includes training development, policy writing, and hands-on coaching for supervisors. They provide templates and checklists to maintain compliance after their initial work is complete. Follow-up visits ensure your safety programs remain effective and adapt to operational changes.
