Conducting routine safety assessments

These assessments include a site assessment, written summary report of findings and recommendations and follow up meeting.

We will start by meeting with you to understand your goals and concerns. Then, we will find out more about your facility and determine how much assessment time will be needed. We will provide a quote and schedule the site visit.
During the assessment, we will review equipment, furniture and work processes.
Once the site visit is complete, we will provide a written report of the findings, relative risk and recommendations. We will meet with you to review and answer questions.

Because each project is unique, we have to understand the scope of the work before providing a quote. Please contact us to discuss your project so we can provide a quote.
Job Task Analysis
A job task analysis will provide an in-depth assessment of the physical tasks required to perform a particular job. We will then identify and quantify the ergonomic risks associated with the job tasks and provide a range of recommendations to reduce or mitigate the risk.
Job Task Analyses are often used when:
investigating an increase in near misses or injuries,
planning for equipment changes,
developing a functional job description,
conducting routine safety assessments.

Each job task analysis will include preliminary meetings to discuss the project goals/concerns, onsite assessment, a written summary report of the findings, relative risk and recommendations and a follow up meeting.

We will start by meeting with you to learn about the site operations and the specific jobs you would like assessed. We will then outline the project scope and plan a site visit.
During the assessment, we will evaluate the job tasks for risk factors. Ideally, we will be able to observe, ask questions, take measurements, photos and videos.
Once the site visit is complete, we will provide a written report of the findings, relative risk and recommendations. We will meet with you to review and answer questions.

A Job Task Analysis can be done for any type of work. In addition to office based work, we assess jobs in many industries including:
