WHO VERGO HELPS
Built for the people improving physical work.
The same product supports safety, operations, improvement teams and leadership. Each team looks at the same task through Physical Demand and Work Efficiency.
- Health and safety teamsSee where physical demands occur and document what changes.
- Operations and site teamsSee the task as it is actually performed.
- Continuous improvement and industrial engineeringTask steps, timing and cycles from ordinary video.
- Site and business leadershipImprove productivity, manage workplace costs and support safer work.
- Industry associations, WCBs and programsA repeatable approach across many workplaces.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Health and safety teams
You already know which tasks concern you. Vergo shows which physical demands were observed, how often and for how long, in a form supervisors and workers can discuss.
- Review observed bending, reaching, arm elevation and other demands.
- Prioritize which tasks deserve closer attention.
- Record the change you decide to test in an Improvement Plan.
- Record again and compare what changed.
OPERATIONS
Operations and site teams
The task on paper and the task on the floor are rarely identical. A recording shows how the work is actually done, step by step, which makes practical changes easier to agree on.
- Break a task into confirmed steps and see how time is distributed.
- Review workstation layout, staging and material flow with the team.
- Test changes to work height, tools, sequence or equipment.
- Compare the task before and after a change.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Continuous improvement and industrial engineering
Vergo gives improvement teams a consistent view of a physical task: confirmed steps, observed timing and, for repeating work, confirmed cycles and average cycle time.
- Review Task Steps & Timing across the selected recording.
- Examine repeating cycles when the footage captures enough repetitions.
- Interpret timing with worker input, safety, quality and recovery in mind.
- Verify a change with a second recording and a Comparison.
SITE AND BUSINESS LEADERSHIP
Site and business leadership
Decisions about equipment, layout and work design are easier with a shared, visual record of how the work is performed and what changed after an improvement.
- Understand task timing, repeated handling and physical demands.
- Prioritize improvements that matter to people and operations.
- Inform equipment, layout and process decisions using task evidence.
- Compare work before and after a change to inform next steps.
THE BUSINESS CASE
Better work. Better business outcomes.
For business owners, the value of understanding physical work goes beyond a safety report. Vergo helps teams focus improvement efforts on the tasks and changes that matter to daily operations.
Improve productivity
See task steps, timing and repeated handling to find opportunities to improve workflow.
Reduce injury risks
Identify demanding movements and document practical changes to the way work is done.
Manage workplace costs
Prioritize changes that may help avoid disruption, lost time and costs associated with injuries.
Support safety incentives
Document assessments and improvements that may support workers’ compensation incentive programs in certain Canadian provinces and U.S. states.
Workers’ compensation rebates and premium reductions depend on provincial or state rules, program approval and employer eligibility. Using Vergo does not automatically qualify a business for a rebate or insurance discount.
INDUSTRY AND PROGRAM PARTNERS
Industry associations, WCBs and programs
Programs often need a consistent way for many employers to look at their own work. Vergo provides that structure without flattening what makes each workplace different.
- Employer pilots and prevention or productivity initiatives.
- A repeatable assessment approach across participating workplaces.
- Consistent reporting 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 through both lenses and choose a first change to test.
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.
