We help you test ergonomic solutions in real-world conditions before full-scale implementation to ensure effectiveness, usability, and return on investment.

Service Overview

Before investing in widespread ergonomic improvements, it is critical to confirm that proposed solutions truly work in your specific environment. Our solutions pilot testing services allow organizations to evaluate new tools, equipment, workstation changes, or process modifications on a small scale before committing to full implementation.

This approach reduces risk, prevents costly missteps, and ensures that final solutions are practical, accepted by employees, and aligned with production goals.

What We Evaluate During Pilot Testing

During pilot testing, our ergonomists assess multiple performance and safety factors, including:

• Usability and ease of adoption
• Employee feedback and acceptance
• Task fit and workflow compatibility
• Ergonomic risk reduction
• Productivity impact
• Quality and consistency of work output
• Equipment durability and adjustability

This comprehensive evaluation ensures that solutions perform as intended under real operating conditions.

Our Pilot Testing Process

Our pilot testing process is customized for your operation but typically includes:

• Selection of appropriate pilot tasks, jobs, or departments
• Baseline data collection (risk, productivity, discomfort, or quality indicators)
• On-site or virtual support during pilot implementation
• Employee training on new tools or processes
• Observation and data collection during the trial period
• Employee interviews and user feedback
• Post-pilot comparison and performance review

Reporting & Decision Support

At the conclusion of the pilot, we provide a clear, actionable summary that may include:

• Comparison of pre- and post-pilot conditions
• Identified benefits and remaining challenges
• Employee feedback trends
• Productivity and workflow impacts
• Risk reduction effectiveness
• Final recommendations for full-scale implementation, redesign, or alternative solutions

This data-driven approach allows leadership, engineering, and safety teams to make confident investment decisions.

Benefits of Pilot Testing

• Reduces financial risk before large capital investment
• Improves employee buy-in and adoption
• Identifies workflow conflicts early
• Confirms actual ergonomic risk reduction
• Supports stronger business cases for implementation
• Prevents ineffective or impractical solutions from being widely deployed

Ideal For

• New material handling devices or automation
• Workstation redesigns
• Tool replacements or upgrades
• Seating or support equipment changes
• Process or workflow modifications
• Engineering control implementation

How Pilot Testing Fits Into Your Ergonomics Program

Solutions pilot testing is often paired with industrial evaluations, facility walk-throughs, and continuous improvement efforts. It serves as the bridge between identifying ergonomic risk and confirming that solutions deliver measurable, sustainable results before full deployment.
