Proplanner's ergonomics module allows for the input of custom ergonomics risk factor assessment forms. Once these have been filled out they can be assigned to operations, activities, or locations within the BOM and tracked for future risk factor analysis.

These tools are invaluable to the manufacturing industry due to the rising costs of time and money wasted because of worker injury. This kind of assessment is a powerful tool in protecting your workers.
