Ergonomics Services
Ergonomics applies scientific knowledge of human capabilities
and limitations to designing or redesigning systems, tasks,
equipment and objects.
Considered Solutions assists employers to create, improve and/or
rectify work systems and places to better match with human
capabilities. This can result in better productivity, health,
safety and morale. We advise workers how to improve their workplaces.
We also work with design teams to create productive user friendly products and
systems.
Capabilities
Specifically Considered Solutions provides
ergonomic consulting services to a wide range of
industries including:
- General office ergonomics (assessment, advice
and training)
- Industrial ergonomics (factory, building workers
etc including process redesign)
- Transport industry particularly railway rolling stock (both
passenger and crew facilities)
- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) assessment
including user interface, ergonomic implications of computerised
workflow processes, task analysis, as well as, physical workstation
and lighting design.
- Specification and Tender Response
Evaluation
- Control Room design
- Product design (ergonomic design input and
assessment)
- Vibration analysis and technical equipment for
monitoring vibration (assessment of the implications for human
operator/passengers rather than machine vibration
analysis.)
- Tertiary education
- Ergonomics research
- Hand grasp research for people with quadriplegia
(assessment of force, contact area with a view to improving muscle
stimulated grasps)
- Expert witness reports
Considered Solutions can assemble highly
experienced, expert and complementary teams for multi-faceted
jobs.
Key Benefits of Ergonomics
- Increased productivity through more efficient systems.
- Lowering workers compensation claims and thus decreasing
on-costs and often increasing worker/staff morale and also staff
retention
- Providing a holistic view of the issue and ensuring the
solution is addressing the real issue rather than just a
symptom
- When applied at the design stage, ensuring designs have
considered users. If applied throughout the process, user-focused
design approach is achievable resulting in a usable product.
