Our Expertise
Ergonomics:
The Art of Combining Function
and Well-Being
A work environment that lives up to the people within it
Ergonomics is the art and science of adapting the workplace and tasks to human needs and capabilities.
Yet, in many companies, these fundamental principles are overlooked.
Result? Poor working conditions that cause unnecessary strain on the body.
As designers, assemblers, and installers of stainless steel solutions, we support professionals with tailor-made systems that fit perfectly into their work environment.
THE PROBLEM
WITH POORLY
DESIGNED
WORKSTATIONS
The main causes:
Lifting heavy loads:
bins, boxes, bags, buckets, drums…
Awkward postures:
misaligned work surfaces, poorly positioned shelves, inappropriate working heights…
Repetitive movements:
chopping, mixing, lifting, pouring, handling…
High work pace and stress
MSDs:
A MAJOR CHALLENGE
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) affect millions of workers each year, impacting their health, productivity, and job satisfaction.
In France alone, over 626,000 cases are reported annually—many more go unnoticed.
Preventing MSDs requires ergonomic solutions, awareness among staff, and better work organisation.
By taking action early, companies can ease physical strain, reduce absenteeism, and improve overall performance.
An adapted working environment helps avoid unnecessary
pain and improves quality of life at work.

OUR HANDLING SOLUTIONS
MSD RISK BREAKDOWN
Our Solutions:
Human-Centred
Handling
Equipment
Ergonomic environments rely on properly designed tools and layout to prevent premature wear on the body.
- We help optimise workstations by avoiding unnecessary twisting, adjusting the height of work surfaces.
- Supporting daily handling tasks with ease and comfort.
ERGONOMIC BEST PRACTICES
the workstation layout
Ensure the space is designed to limit repetitive motions and allow comfortable postures.
positions
Working above shoulder height
or below the knees increases strain and risk of injury. Keep movements natural.
at work
A well-adjusted station boosts concentration,
productivity, and employee satisfaction.
THE BONUS BENEFIT
Investing in workplace comfort and quality of life (QVCT) demonstrates your company’s commitment to its employees. It strengthens engagement and helps reduce turnover.
ASSISTANCE
Investing in ergonomic solutions may seem costly, but many forms of assistance exist to support your projects:
- FIPU GRANT (“Ergonomic Risk Prevention”): funding for ergonomic equipment to reduce manual handling via CARSAT.
- TMS PRO PROGRAM: supports companies of all sizes in preventing MSDs and handling risks.
- FACT (Fund for the Improvement of Working Conditions): grant for actions to improve working conditions and prevent risks.
- CLACT GRANT (Local Contracts for the Improvement of Working Conditions for Healthcare Facilities): funding for ergonomic equipment to reduce manual handling exclusively for healthcare facilities (via the ARS).
