| About Health Metrics, Inc. |
Health Metrics, Inc./ARA/Human
Factors® (HMI)
is a small business, founded in 1976 and currently
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. |
| Service Lines: |
| HMI provides consulting
services related to human performance, applied human factors, worksite
health and industrial injury risk management for business and government.
HMI's mission is to assist business entities and government agencies
with recruiting, training and retaining a quality work force while
reducing job-related injury and illness costs through effective
risk management and work process controls. |
| Experience: |
| HMI has extensive experience
in job-related human performance research, instruction, job-task
analysis and employment test design/validation for governmental
and commercial/industrial clients. The employee groups we serve
include material handlers, production laborers, firefighters, law
enforcement officers, and health care workers. These experiences
are primarily related to the analysis and interpretation of job
demand and work capacity matching. HMI is dedicated to applying
the scientific principles of human factors research to assess and
improve work efficiency and ergonomic abatement. |
| Operational Approach: |
| HMI operates on the principle that
everyone’s performance capabilities can be enhanced. The key
to improving performance and efficiency is the accurate identification
of job demands, the physical capacities of workers, environmental
considerations, and other human factors that relate to job tasks
and requirements. Once all tasks and requirements are identified,
people can be matched to those requirements and training (skill
and physical ability) developed. Sound job task performance evaluations
must be based on scientific principles, which are then applied using
a systematic approach. |
HMI applies this
approach to all of its work and has demonstrated its efficacy.
HMI’s techniques
for assessing work requirements, developing standards,
integrating them into the work environment, and instructing management
and the
workforce in the application of human factors and
ergonomic principles specific to their needs can be tailored to
groups or individuals.
HMI's assessment and development programs have
proven to be extremely cost effective. They may be applied to
groups with common skills
and physical tasks (wage grade employees, firefighters,
law enforcement and security personnel) or to individuals under
medical supervision.
HMI’s projects have required data collection efforts across
the United States, Central America, the Orient, Europe, and Australia.
