Occupational ergonomics

Since 1991, EWI Works has worked with organizations to develop a customized ergonomic program that is strategically suited to fit the client's unique needs, assisting to reduce workplace hazards and injury, thus, minimizing costs. From workplace assessments and design reviews to delivering customized ergonomic training sessions, EWI provides a full range of ergonomic consulting, training and planning services to national and international clients.

Industrial ergonomics

Industrial organizations can be challenged with high risk work environments. EWI Works has over a decade of experience in industrial ergonomics, developing highly-specialized strategies that reduce these risks. See resources for tools geared to industrial organizations.

Web-based training courses

EWI Works now offers web based training for our clients. Web-based courses make the training stage of implementing your ergonomic program worry-free and cost effective. Employees complete the online training course conveniently—at their own workstation, at their own pace. The course is available for one year of unlimited use.

The advantages:

• the need to have a certified ergonomist teach the course at your site is no longer necessary, therefore there are no instructor fees or travel charges incurred for training staff
• the cost of lost production time is decreased as the need to remove large groups of staff from operational duties is eliminated
