Creating Comfortable & Safe Workplaces & Products With Ergonomic Design

We understand that the design of a workplace or environment can greatly impact the productivity and well-being of the people using it. That's why we take a user-centered approach to design, putting the needs and comfort of the user at the forefront of our design process.

This includes analyzing the physical workplace, taking into account factors such as anthropometrics and biomechanics to ensure that the space is ergonomically sound and comfortable for the users. We also consider the environment, including factors such as lighting, noise, and vibration, to create a space that is conducive to productivity and well-being.

Additionally, we pay close attention to the human-machine interface, focusing on visual design, alarms, and error mitigation to ensure that the technology used in the space is easy to use and understand. And finally, we take a holistic approach to job design, considering factors such as human reliability and workload to create a space that supports the overall success of the organization.

In short, we help our clients design for people by understanding the human needs and creating spaces that support the productivity and well-being of the people who use it.

1. Workplace design: Ergonomic workplace design involves creating a space that is comfortable and efficient for the people who use it. This can include things like adjustable desks and chairs, proper lighting and ventilation, and the positioning of equipment and tools to reduce the risk of injury.
2. Product design: Ergonomic product design involves creating products that are easy and comfortable to use. This can include things like designing products with easy-to-grip handles, placing buttons and controls in intuitive locations, and considering the weight and size of the product for ease of use.
3. Accessibility for disabled persons: Ergonomic design for accessibility involves creating spaces and products that are usable for people with disabilities. This can include things like designing ramps and elevators for wheelchair access, designing products with large buttons and controls for people with visual impairments, and providing audio announcements for people with hearing impairments.
4. Seating studies: Ergonomic seating studies involve evaluating the comfort and support provided by different types of seating, such as office chairs, and making recommendations for improvements. This can include things like adjusting the seat height and angle, providing lumbar support, and ensuring that the chair is the correct size for the user.
5. Human Machine Interface (HMI) design: An example of ergonomic HMI design would be a control panel for a heavy machinery that uses clear labels, easy-to-use controls and color-coded warning signals to improve safety and reduce the risk of errors.
6. Maintainability: An example of ergonomic maintainability would be a product that is easy to disassemble and reassemble, reducing the time and effort needed for maintenance or repair.
7. Signage: An example of ergonomic signage design would be using clear and easy-to-read fonts, high-contrast colors, and intuitive symbols to make it easy for people to find their way around a building or facility,  even if they are unfamiliar with the layout.
