Session Title:
Ergo Economics

Presenter:
Kevin Costello, CPE, President, United States Ergonomics

Summary Agenda:
Description: How do you ensure that you don’t invest $500,000 in workstation improvements when an appropriate correction would have cost $10,000? Costello suggests that there are three ways to examine the positive financial outcome of ergonomic change – injury reduction, productivity and post-injury management. Whether your company needs assistance with injury reduction or is looking to increase productivity in existing or new processes through ergonomic improvements, a quantifiable assessment using proven methodology is a must so that significant money isn’t wasted.
