SUSTAINABILITY

QP3 ErgoSystems Believes in Sustainability

Waste stream sustainability is a process that aims to reduce the amount of waste disposed of, keeping materials in use for as long as possible. We minimize the environmental, social, and economic impacts of waste management.

Waste streams can be categorized into materials, such as metals and glass; products, such as electronic waste and packaging; and liquids, such as water or other liquids, used in manufacturing and processing.

“Integrating people, materials and equipment… to make companies better!”™

“I first had the opportunity to work with Tim when preparing and implementing a program to comply with the California MIPP requirements as well as other California regulatory requirements. Tim came highly recommended from our insurance carrier, and he did not disappoint. Tim made the process and training thorough, effective and fun for those attending the ergonomic training. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Tim on other corporate ergonomic and risk management projects. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table for all ergonomic projects – whether related to daily work in hospitality/housekeeping, ‘work from home arrangements’, manufacturing, construction or worker’s comp. He can effectively train and advise every level of your team from the shop floor to the board room.”
– Margaret Hackbarth, General Counsel, Arbitrator & Insurance Consultant
“It is not possible to thank (QP3 ErgoSystems founder) Tim Pottorrf enough for the positive impact he had on our firm. After carefully listening to how we needed the space to function and what problems we were having, he was able to quickly identify underlying ergonomic issues in our office arrangement. Tim’s suggestions were extremely cost-effective and did not require fancy new equipment or chairs. Long-standing issues with back and hip pain by the end of the workday were greatly relieved. This led to noticeably increased productivity during the day and happier employees who were also able to more fully enjoy their evenings once they had less pain from work.” 
– Christina M. Magerkurth, PE, President Magerkurth Associates, Inc.
