SAFETY AND ERGONOMICS
Safety managers and ergonomics teams
You already know which tasks concern you. Vergo helps you look at those tasks closely, record what you see in a consistent structure and share it in a form supervisors and workers can act on.
- Identify which moments in a task deserve closer review.
- Turn observations into structured findings and documentation.
- Build a clearer case for equipment, layout or process changes.
- Reassess the task and show what improved.
What you receive
- Visual task review
- Key movement findings
- Supporting frames
- Practical recommendations
- A documented assessment summary
OWNERS AND SENIOR LEADERS
Understand where physical demands may be costing the business.
A workplace injury can affect much more than a single claim. It may lead to time away from work, overtime, replacement labour, training, reduced capacity, administrative work and disruption to production or service delivery.
Claim experience may also affect workers compensation premiums, depending on the jurisdiction and its experience rating system.
- See where physical demands may be affecting people and work.
- Prioritize improvement efforts across tasks or sites.
- Support equipment, layout and process investments with clearer information.
- Track whether changes improved the task.
Labour capacity
Time away, restricted duties and cover arrangements reduce the hours available to do the work.
Operational continuity
Losing an experienced person from a physically demanding task can affect output, quality and scheduling.
Claim or premium exposure
Claim experience may affect workers compensation premiums, depending on the jurisdiction and its rating system.
Estimate the potential operational impact
There is no single average cost for a workplace injury. Use your own assumptions to estimate some of the operational costs that may accompany time away from work.
ESTIMATED TOTAL OPERATIONAL IMPACT
Enter the four inputs below to see an estimate.
This estimate illustrates selected employer side operational costs using information entered by the user. It does not estimate workers compensation benefits, insurance premiums, medical costs, legal costs or the full human impact of an injury. Actual costs vary by workplace and jurisdiction.
OPERATIONS AND SITE LEADERS
Operations and site leaders
The task on paper and the task on the floor are rarely identical. A short recording shows how the work is actually done, which makes practical changes easier to agree on.
- Review the task as it is actually performed.
- Identify lifting, reaching, repetition, force and awkward positioning.
- Test changes to work height, layout, tools, sequence or material flow.
- Compare task conditions before and after a change.
PROGRAMS AND PARTNERS
Industry associations, WCBs and government programs
Prevention programs often need a consistent way for many different employers to look at their own work. Vergo can provide that structure across a sector without flattening what makes each workplace different.
- Employer pilots and prevention initiatives.
- A repeatable assessment approach across participating workplaces.
- Consistent documentation with workplace specific findings.
- One task pilots, multi site programs and broader initiatives.
Choose how you want to start
The same assessment structure works at different scales.
Start with one task
Review one priority task and identify practical opportunities for improvement.
Run a workplace pilot
Apply a consistent approach across selected tasks, teams or locations.
Discuss a multi employer initiative
Explore a coordinated program for an association, safety organization, WCB or public sector partner.
