Workplace noise is one of the most common hazards—and one of the most overlooked.
Ontario Regulation 381/15 sets strict limits on noise exposure and requires employers to assess, control, and monitor risks to prevent permanent hearing damage.

Musculoskeletal injuries cost the Canadian economy billions each year, yet many risks originate in everyday office work, including remote environments.

Under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act, employers are required to take every reasonable precaution to protect workers, whether they are in the office or working from home. This includes identifying and addressing ergonomic hazards in all workspaces.

Ergonomic assessments provide a structured approach to identifying risk factors, quantifying exposure, and implementing controls. When done properly, they not only reduce injury risk but also improve productivity, reduce absenteeism, and lower overall costs.

At T. Harris Environmental Management Inc. (THEM), we help organizations implement effective ergonomic programs that support both compliance and worker well-being.

Ergonomic risks are not limited to high-impact work. Even routine office tasks can contribute to musculoskeletal injuries over time.

Repetitive movements, poor workstation setup, prolonged screen use, and individual worker factors all play a role in increasing risk. Without proper assessment and adjustment, these exposures can lead to discomfort, reduced productivity, and long-term health impacts.

Effective ergonomic programs focus on identifying risk factors, quantifying exposure, and implementing controls tailored to the individual worker, not a one-size-fits-all setup.

At T. Harris Environmental Management Inc. (THEM), we provide professional ergonomic assessments to help organizations reduce risk and improve workplace health.

Les risques ergonomiques ne se limitent pas aux travaux à fort impact. Même les tâches de bureau de routine peuvent contribuer à des blessures musculosquelettiques avec le temps.

Les mouvements répétitifs, la mauvaise configuration des postes de travail, l'utilisation prolongée de l'écran et les facteurs individuels liés aux travailleurs jouent tous un rôle dans l'augmentation des risques. Sans une évaluation et un ajustement appropriés, ces expositions peuvent entraîner de l'inconfort, une baisse de productivité et des impacts à long terme sur la santé.

Des programmes ergonomiques efficaces visent à identifier les facteurs de risque, quantifier l'exposition et mettre en place des contrôles adaptés à chaque travailleur individuel, et non à un système universel.

Chez T. Harris Environmental Management Inc. (THEM), nous fournissons des évaluations professionnelles d'ergonomie afin d'aider les organisations à réduire les risques et à améliorer la santé au travail.
