What is an ergonomics program?

An ergonomics program is a structured approach to optimizing how people interact with their work environment to enhance safety , comfort, and efficiency. It involves elements like workstation design, equipment selection, employee training, injury prevention, and continuous improvement.

How do you create an ergonomic program?

Creating an ergonomic program involves implementing measures and practices to optimize the design and setup of workstations, equipment, and processes to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and improve overall worker comfort, safety, and productivity.

What is ergonomic assessment tool?

An ergonomic assessment tool is a resource used to evaluate workplace conditions and identify potential ergonomic risks . It helps improve safety, comfort, and productivity by suggesting changes to workstation setup, equipment design, and employee behaviors.

What are the 4 components of ergonomics?

Physical ergonomics Cognitive ergonomics Organizational ergonomics Environmental ergonomics These four components of ergonomics are interconnected and should be considered holistically when designing or evaluating work systems. Got more questions? Check out our FAQ page to find your answer!

DELMIA Ergonomics Software for Workplace Design

Design Ergonomic Workplace Virtually

DELMIA helps manufacturing engineers design safe and efficient workplaces virtually to avoid costly mistakes in the physical world. Our Virtual Ergonomics software enables designers and engineers to overcome posturing problems by simulating human interaction and ergonomic behavior between a product and a system from the earliest stages of the design process. Product designers and manufacturing engineers can resolve ergonomic problems virtually as early as possible to increase employees' well-being, decrease the costs of work-related injuries and increase productivity in the real world. Moreover, they can make quick and efficient decisions to reach their design goals by providing relevant guidance to product and workplace designers, even those with a low ergonomic background.

Digital continuity is an asset for us. It links the product designer and the assembly operator who will use the operating instructions. The platform makes it possible to verify that the design concept can be used by the operator, in compliance with industrial, ergonomic and quality requirements throughout the development cycle of our tractors.
