| SANOFI PASTEUR LTD. |  | | | | Ergonomic Initiatives and Onsite Ergonomic Services | | | | ERGO Inc. is proud to work with Sanofi Pasteur; Canada’s largest vaccine company that provides vaccines for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, common illnesses and cancers,. Since 2000, ERGO Inc. projects have included the development and delivery of customized training programs for office and laboratory employees, assessments of higher risk areas and the completion of job demands analyses.
In 2006, Sanofi implemented a company wide initiative to reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and improve overall ergonomic awareness in their workforce. ERGO Inc. has conducted comprehensive departmental ergonomic studies to identify MSD hazards in all office workstations. ERGO Inc. works with Herman Miller, Sanofi’s onsite furniture supplier, to ensure appropriate equipment is provided and set up properly for employees. This initiative also involves the assessment of all laboratory and production work areas at Sanofi Pasteur’s Willowdale and Sunnybrook Hospital sites. We are currently working with Sanofi to redesign lab benches, production lines and equipment. New equipment (i.e. carts, pipettes) is being trialed and studied to evaluate its’ impact on injury reduction. We are working as a team to meet Sanofi Pasteur’s injury prevention goals.
