Granville Health System’s Rehabilitation Department
now offers on-site ergonomic assessments and
interventions specifically tailored to assist workers
who are already injured to prevent work-related
injuries.  Evaluation goals are set to obtain the
highest productivity from each worker, while maintaining his or her physical well-being and mental health.

The on-site ergonomic assessment has two stages. First, environmental considerations are studied by a trained therapist visiting the work site. The components of this stage include job analysis, work station mechanics, and hazard identification.

After the environmental study, the therapist issues a report on job/worker compatibility. The report will include recommendations and on-site instruction in the following areas:

• Repetitive strain reduction
• Physical and emotional fatigue prevention
• Workstation design improvement
• Body mechanics instruction
• Tool modification
• Pacing skills training
• Stretching exercise training
• Posture correction
• Splint/adaptive aid
