Ergonomics

Register today How does biomechanics enhance AI-powered ergonomic systems that use sensorless motion capture to assess musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks? By analyzing biomechanical data such as posture, joint angles, and repetitive movements, the AI system produces a detailed risk analysis of workplace tasks. A strong foundation in biomechanics enables experts to accurately interpret this data, […]

Register today Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the most common injuries in the workplace. The Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index consistently shows that overexertion injuries from activities such as lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing, or pulling are the leading cause of injury across industries, and awkward working postures also rank in the top ten. During this […]

Register today Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a vital tool for identifying and managing risk in an organization. It involves breaking down work into job tasks and paying close attention to employees as they perform the tasks, use tools, and interact with work environments. Once hazards are identified, you can then initiate corrective actions to […]

Register today AGCO Corporation is a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of smart solutions for sustainable agriculture, headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, United States. A challenge that AGCO faced was creating an ergonomics process in a unique environment that commonly contains long cycle time operations and few classic workstations. This customer case study […]

Register for this session! Learn more about the EHS Daily Advisor NOW Tech-AI Virtual Event Global organizations struggle to effectively and sustainably manage musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks due to the limitations of traditional, manual observation-based ergonomics assessments. These are often time-consuming, resource-intensive, difficult to scale, and potentially unreliable, which hinders proactive risk reduction and impacts […]

Register today We are pleased to announce a second opportunity to attend the following webinar presentation live.* Since its publication by the International Organization for Standardization in 2018, ISO 45001 has become the global gold standard for occupational health and safety management systems. In this session, we’ll review how principles within ISO 45001, especially the […]

Register today Workplace ergonomics has made generations of manufacturing workers safer and more productive, but getting there can be expensive and time-consuming. Paper-based, expert-led, observational ergonomics assessments can be costly and disruptive to operations. However, it’s a field ripe for improvement from artificial intelligence (AI). Using AI-based sensorless motion-capture technology, companies can generate data through […]

Register today Many organizations operate under the misconception that conducting ergonomics assessments is the primary task within an ergonomics program. However, the result of an assessment – a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk score – is only the starting point, not the end goal, of your ergonomics efforts. To achieve the desired results and get value […]

Register today Over a year ago, VelocityEHS introduced the interactive Ergonomics Program Self-Assessment to provide our customers and others who are managing ergonomics programs with a resource that would identify the strengths and gaps in their current process. This tool is based on principles of effective safety management systems drawn from ISO 45001 and ANSI Z-10. During […]

Register today There are many common myths in the corporate world about ergonomics, from the simple “it’s just a marketing tool,” to the more complex “having the most detailed and accurate MSD risk assessment will give me the best results.”   For a company to effectively launch and maintain a sustainable ergonomics process and management system, […]
