VelocityEHS | Humantech Target Costly Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders at National Ergonomics ConferenceCHICAGO, Aug. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VelocityEHS, the global leader in cloud environment, health, safety (EHS) and sustainability solutions, will demonstrate Ergonomics done right® at the upcoming 2018 National Ergonomics Conference & ErgoExpo at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel August 21-24. Board-certified professional ergonomists from VelocityEHS and its recently acquired Humantech division will deliver a series of presentations showcasing how today’s smart companies manage a wide range of industrial, material-handling and office ergonomics issues, including:
In addition to this great lineup of presentations, attendees are encouraged to visit the VelocityEHS and Humantech booths (#321 and #323 respectively) to learn more about how the company’s quick-to-implement and easy-to-use ergonomics software solutions can help mitigate the risks associated with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other sprains and strains, which are among the most common and costly work-related injuries. Formal demonstrations of its new, sensorless motion capture tool for assessing MSD riskwill be conducted at the following times at booth 323.
“MSDs are so costly because businesses fail to identify concerns before they become larger issues,” said Gene Kay MS, CPE, director of ergonomics at VelocityEHS and one of the speakers at the conference. “One of the biggest benefits of the VelocityEHS software is that it helps empower customers to get ahead of ergonomic risks. Workers are able to use our affordable, online products at their own workstations – and on their own time and pace – to self-assess and self-correct ergonomic issues. As a result, our customers report decreased worker compensation costs, increased productivity and better overall employee job satisfaction.” VelocityEHS Ergonomics software combines a simple, user-friendly interface with bite-sized modules that allow employees to fit training into their hectic schedules. On the admin side, EHS and HR managers can easily deploy and monitor an entire enterprise-wide program from a central location, with extensive tools to prioritize, track, measure and document all aspects of the ergonomics process. The recent acquisition of Humantech expands VelocityEHS capabilities into industrial and material-handling industries, where there is a high demand for effective and affordable ergonomics solutions. With more that 10 million active users worldwide, more businesses trust VelocityEHS and its suite of EHS management software solutions to safeguard employees, manage risk and meet their complex compliance obligations than any other industry software provider.
