Honeywell ergonomic program

This article from Ergoweb describes Keith Osborne's work to design an ergonomic program at one of Honeywell's Colorado based plants.  His approach is similar to other institutions around the country including the one used at the University of Minnesota.  His program incorporates an ergonomic show room where people can view chairs and try out ergonomic equipment.  This improves the customer experience and eliminates the need people to make trips to various vendors or the vendors to drop off products. 

Incoporating additional options such as virtual ergonomic evaluations also allows reduces response time to branch offices in large corporations.  People can also self evaluate their workstation using a handy guide from the U of Minnesota.
