Success Follows Safety.
Our mission is to create safe and comfortable workplaces that promote employee health and productivity.
We believe that ergonomic solutions are essential for a successful and sustainable business.
Expert Solutions & Services
Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention
Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) and associated disorders commonly involve our muscles and skeleton, but may also affect tendons, ligaments, joints, spinal discs, nerves, and blood vessels. Whether you need assistance in identifying and mitigating the MSI hazards with one work tasks or a review of your MSI prevention program, we can help.
Several ergonomic hazards are considered in our MSI Prevention Program (MSIP2):
- Force
- Repetition
- Posture
- Working Height and Distance
- Duration of Effort
- Contact Stress
- Vibration (Hand-Arm and Whole-Body)
Our MSIP program will unravel the complex interactions between these ergonomic hazards and will provide practical process and or design solutions to prevent and mitigate the identified MSI risks. Our approach to managing MSI risks is to first simplify. Our trademarked FITTER approach to MSI prevention and mitigation provides a robust framework that will enable your organization to communicate on common terms across various teams and people in your workforce.
To assist you in managing ergonomics-related risks, we offer:
- Ergonomics Risk Assessments
- Physical Demands Analysis
- Functional Capacity Evaluation
Workplace Ergonomics & Safety Training
BioFitt offers expert-led training programs in MSI awareness, JHSC certification, supervisor and executive ergonomics, and Train-the-Trainer courses for OHS professionals. Empower your workforce from the ground up.
Empower your workforce with tailored ergonomics and safety training designed to improve productivity, reduce injury risk, and ensure regulatory compliance. Biofitt offers customized programs that help organizations apply ergonomics and human factors principles to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and enhance operational efficiency.
Our Ergonomics Awareness Training for workers meets compliance standards in British Columbia and supports proactive injury prevention. We also provide targeted training for Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) members and supervisors, equipping them to identify and address ergonomic risks in the workplace effectively.
MSI Awareness Level Training is available online via our learning management system. Please connect to gain access to this valuable training resource -> training@biofittergo.com.
Fitness for Duty
At BioFitt Ergonomics, we help organizations ensure that employees and job candidates are fit for duty—physically, physiologically, and psychologically—based on the bona fide occupational requirements (BFORs) of the role.
Many safety-sensitive industries require pre-employment screening and ongoing fitness evaluations to confirm that workers can safely perform their job tasks. Our services are designed to support compliance, reduce risk, and optimize workforce performance.
Our Fitness for Duty services, include:
- Occupational Fitness Test Development and Implementation
- Custom-designed physical demands testing aligned with job-specific requirements and validated industry standards.
- Industrial Athlete Training Program
To help workers meet the physical demands of high-rigor occupational fitness tests, we offer an Industrial Athlete Training Program in partnership with our registered kinesiology network at Biofitt Movement.
This program supports candidates preparing for physical testing and helps current workers improve strength, endurance, and resilience in demanding roles.
Digital Human Modeling
The use of digital human models in the conceptual design phase is an effective and efficient means to identify any workstation or product design issue prior to physical prototyping and embodiment. By using digital human models, we can investigate several workstation or product design attributes early in the design process, such as anthropometric fit (reach, hand clearance, handle size diameter, etc.) and strength capabilities.
Design Reviews
Good engineering practice often requires that ergonomic and human factors principles be systematically reviewed during the various phases of the design lifecycle, which should also include engineering change control. In meeting the intent of established regulatory requirements and various standards, our team at BioFitt can assist in facilitating the design review process.
Event & Accident Investigation
After an event or an accident many organizations unfortunately adopt a blame culture and incorrectly believe that workers did not have adequate training to prevent the event or accident. In our systematic approach to investigations, we leverage various event investigation techniques, such as TapRooT®, the SHELL model, and Management Oversight Risk Tree (MORT) to unravel the complex management, equipment, interaction design, and procedural issues through a human-centric lens or perspective.
