Level
One “Mini-Evals”
Level One is a, concise and effective option when an individualized
approach is necessary. In just 20 minutes modifications are suggested
"on the spot" to promote a better fit between the worker
and their workstation. Designed for the low-risk and symptom free
employee, this is a particularly effective way to evaluate individual
employees. In addition, Level One is useful when upgrading office
equipment, renovating or relocating. Level One will qualify as a
ėgood faith effort" under OSHA.
Level
Two “Protective”
Level Two is a comprehensive 45-minute individual workstation evaluation,
with a detailed report. Level Two is appropriate for employees with
complaints of work-related pain/discomfort or groups of individuals
in ergonomic "red flag" areas (data entry, call centers,
materials handling, etc.). "Protective" evaluations are
designed to eliminate current complaints and prevent future incidents.
Level Three “Post-Injury”
Level Three is a personalized analysis of the workspace performed
during or after medical intervention (work or non-work related injuries).
Designed to ease return to work and maximize the employee's capability,
the Level Three evaluation, which includes an in-depth report, helps
reduce health care costs and eliminate or reduce ergonomic hazards.
Medical providers often prescribe "Post Injury" ergonomic
evaluations.
Level
Four “Follow-Up”
These visits are designed to ensure workstation recommendations and equipment modifications have been implemented properly. Individuals who received either a mini or formal evaluation in the past will be re-visited by an ergonomist. The visit will last 10-15 minutes. A short questionnaire is administered to indicate if further action is needed and is attached to the initial evaluation.
