Eighty-five percent of the reasons for failure are deficiencies in the systems and process rather than the employee. The role of management is to change the process rather than badgering individuals to do better.
Sustainable Ergonomics Systems
At Ergoweb®, we believe that good ergonomics plays a key role in corporate sustainability. As you evaluate your company’s overall ergonomics challenges and goals, it’s important to look for a solution that provides the necessary tools that not only reduce employee injuries and risk, but also delivers a comprehensive and sustainable process management system that affects multiple metrics within your organization.
Our Ergoweb Enterprise™ cloud-based ergonomics management platform includes features that help companies continually improve their ergonomics programs, and to comply with standards such as the ISO 45001 health and safety management systems. It flexes to meet varying employer needs, from simple turn-key systems, to complex customized processes for large employers.
Our objective is to help you create workplaces with fewer injuries, increased productivity, and higher quality.
Evidence Based Ergonomics
Our Ergoweb Enterprise™ software solution includes sixteen (16) different evidence based ergonomics assessment and design tools. You have control over which you use — if any — and you can mix-and-match them to address the specific types of work in your company.
Don’t see your favorite assessment tool? Don’t worry. Our configurable system allows you to easily integrate your own.

Our Approach
Assessing ergonomics risk using evidence-based measurement methods is only one step in an effective ergonomics program. Finding and applying reliable controls to reduce that risk is what separates a good ergonomics process from one that’s ineffective. Ergoweb Enterprise is built to deliver solutions research and best practice guidance specific to your company work environments and the types of tasks your employees perform.
Our goal is to generate value across multiple business metrics by delivering sustainable ergonomics solutions that meet your immediate needs, and can grow and flex as your ergonomics process matures and improves over time.
