Cardiovascular health is a growing concern in the workplace, with many workers unable to continue in their roles due to heart-related conditions. After medical consolidation, employers often face the question: is the employee still fit for the job?
A heart rate monitor provides valuable, real-time data on physiological strain during work. It helps:
Assess the cardiovascular load of specific tasks
Measure energy expenditure under different conditions or tool use
Identify activities that may pose cardiac risks
Support recommendations when heart rate exceeds critical thresholds
Optimize work/rest cycles based on physical effort, stress, and environmental factors
By combining subjective feedback with objective data, the heart rate monitor allows for more informed decisions around task demands, worker safety, and sustainable return-to-work planning.
A triaxial accelerometer measures acceleration across three perpendicular axes (X, Y, and Z), capturing motion and vibration in all spatial directions. In workplace ergonomics, it is a powerful tool for evaluating the impact of vibration on workers using vehicles, tools, or equipment.
This device enables you to:
Perform real-time assessments of vibration or shock exposure on the job
Compare vibration levels across tasks and against regulatory standards
Evaluate risks linked to whole-body, hand, or arm vibration
Make evidence-based decisions on prevention and control strategies
Recommend solutions when exposure exceeds action thresholds or legal limits
By quantifying vibration levels accurately, the triaxial accelerometer supports safer task design, protects worker health, and ensures compliance with occupational exposure standards.
3D biomechanical simulation uses modeling software to predict the physical impact of tasks involving lifting, pressing, pushing, or pulling. By integrating workers’ anthropometric data, it simulates postures and calculates the static forces acting on the body during various tasks.
This technology allows for proactive assessment of physical demands—before implementing changes—by reproducing potential work scenarios based on planned tool placements or workstation layouts. It helps optimize design decisions, saving both time and cost while ensuring worker safety.
Key benefits include:
Quantifying predicted joint loads and physical strain
Identifying high-risk postures and justifying areas of concern
Recommending ergonomic work methods that reduce injury risk
By visualizing and simulating physical demands, 3D biomechanical modeling supports evidence-based ergonomic design, promoting safer, more efficient work environments.
A time and motion study, conducted with specialized ergonomic data acquisition software, provides a precise and detailed analysis of workers’ movements and postures. This method helps identify risks and optimize work processes with several key advantages:
Accurate assessment tailored to specific workstations
Clear data visualization for easy communication with stakeholders
Reliable information to drive continuous improvement of working conditions
Support for compliance with health and safety standards
Automation that saves time and enhances assessment efficiency
In essence, time and motion studies enable personalized ergonomic evaluations, improve employee well-being, ensure regulatory compliance, and streamline assessment processes through advanced software tools.
