Download this list of metrics VelocityEHS recommends that you track as part of your ergonomics program, such as risk reduction percentages or number of assessments with identified direct causes.
Summary Reports compile data and information from various areas of job assessments so you can see it all in one place and determine if you’re staying on target and meeting business objectives concerning ergonomics.
