A well-designed workspace improves employee satisfaction, reduces the risk of injury and boosts productivity, ultimately impacting company's bottom line. With ergonomic investments on the rise, Treston’s new ErgoSavings Calculator is here to help businesses quantify their potential savings and see firsthand the impact that ergonomics can make.
ErgoSavings calculator - your key to understanding ergonomics ROI
ErgoSavings Calculator is a user-friendly tool that lets you explore the benefits of ergonomic workspaces in a tangible way. By analysing key factors like reduced injury rates, and potential cost savings, it highlights how much your company stands to gain from ergonomic investments.
This calculator provides a clear snapshot of the long-term value ergonomic improvements can offer. Our goal is to make it easy for you to make informed decisions, providing insights that show how ergonomics can save time, money, and energy.
The Research Behind the ErgoSavings Calculator
The default values in the ErgoSavings Calculator are based on comprehensive research and real-world data. For example, in Finland, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) accounted for 25% of all compensated sickness days in 2023, highlighting the substantial impact of these conditions on productivity and company expenses (source: Kela, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland).
Additionally, research has shown that implementing ergonomic interventions can lead to a 72% reduction in sick leave due to MSDs and a 57% reduction in musculoskeletal symptoms

Calculate Your Potential Savings: An Example Scenario
Imagine a midsized manufacturing company with a workforce affected by MSD-related sick leave. If 25% of the company’s sick leave is due to MSDs, and ergonomic improvements reduce MSD-related absences by 72%, this company could see a significant reduction in lost workdays. For instance, if the company incurs 100,000 € annually in MSD-related sick leave costs, applying ergonomic solutions could reduce this by approximately 72,000 €.
The ErgoSavings Calculator uses this type of data to project potential savings, helping you visualize how ergonomic investments translate into both cost reductions and a healthier work environment.

Research findings behind default values used in ErgoSavings calculator
Percentage of sick leave caused by MSDs: Percentage of sick leave caused by MSDs: In the United States, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for a significant portion of sick leave. According to recent data, MSDs were responsible for 38% of all non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses in 2021-2022 (an increase from 25% in 2020). (source: Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS): https://www.bls.gov/iif/nonfatal-injuries-and-illnesses-tables.htm)
Reduction in sick leave from MSDs due to ergonomic improvements: A study made on estimating the effectiveness of ergonomics interventions revealed that musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders were reduced 57% and absences due to MSDs reduced 72% as a result of measures that improve ergonomics.

How EHS Managers Can Get Workers to Care About Ergonomics
For EHS and facilities managers, reducing workplace injuries is a constant challenge. Ergonomics can help prevent issues like musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and chronic pain but getting workers to change their habits is difficult. Many prioritise speed over safety, leading to avoidable injuries, absenteeism, and higher healthcare costs.
Workers often don't prioritise ergonomics until they experience an injury. They may resist change, not realising poor ergonomics can impact their long-term health. However, with regular assessments, the right tools, and ongoing support, you can create safer workplaces and reduce injuries.
Choosing the best customisable electric workbench for industrial use
Selecting the right workbench for your industrial workspace is a crucial decision that impacts both ergonomics and productivity. With a wide range of workbenches available, from light-duty to heavy-duty models, it’s important to consider factors like load capacity, accessory options, and overall flexibility.
Treston offers a variety of hyper-adaptable, ESD-safe and durable workbenches designed to meet the demands of diverse industries, from electronics assembly to heavy manufacturing.
In this post, we compare our four electrically height-adjustable top models—TED, WB, QuatreX, and Concept—so you can find the perfect solution for your specific industrial needs. Our comparison focuses on two key elements: load capacity and the range of accessories available.
