Johnson Matthey Ergonomics Process Improvement Case Study

This case study details Johnson Matthey's (JM) evolution in ergonomics process management through the use of VelocityEHS Industrial Ergonomics software. JM, a leader in sustainable chemical manufacturing, has significantly reduced ergonomic-related injuries by 97% from 2018 to 2025. Initially, JM faced challenges with engagement and standardization in their ergonomics assessments, which were paper-based. Transitioning to a data-driven approach with advanced technologies, including AI-assisted motion capture, has enhanced the accuracy and accessibility of assessments. The introduction of integrated training and machine-learning capabilities has empowered site teams to proactively address risks. A pivotal 2020 ergonomics campaign further increased awareness and adoption of the software, solidifying ergonomics as a core component of JM's Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) strategy. The case study emphasizes the importance of clear goals, employee empowerment, and integrating ergonomics into design processes for sustained success.
