--Tina Tyler, Administrative Office, Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Lab

        

       

          

“I highly encourage employers to invite Deborah Read into their organization to conduct a thorough and professional evaluation of ergonomically-challenged offices or office space. Her obvious passion for health and wellness exudes through her “cracker jack” personality and spirit, resulting in positive results for everyone involved.”

--Ingrid Anderson, Human Resources Manager, Eastside Fire & Rescue

       

        

         

"A true professional, Deborah is passionate about safety in the workplace. Her assessment and product recommendations were timely and cost-effective, her manner upbeat and positive.  Deborah's occupational therapy perspective ensures business owners focus on the proactive goal of injury prevention."

--Kathryn Barrett, RN, MSN, President, Aging Matters, LLC

            

"Deborah’s holistic approach has allowed us to identify and address root causes of problems rather than simply treating symptoms enabling us to work toward long-term solutions. Deborah has been instrumental in identifying and providing resources for solution development. It is refreshing to receive attainable solutions as part of an evaluative and identification process.”

--E.J. Hook, Landscape Supervisor, Woodland Park Zoo

"Deb Read from ErgoFit Consulting provided our staff with the knowledge they needed to address their various ergonomic issues. She offered guidance and suggestions that brought immediate relief; and, she was able to identify system and facility problems that were causing discomfort. Her dynamic workshops and insightful one-on-one evaluations trained our staff to identify their unique physical situation and make decisions that could impact their work enviroment.

--Jane Summerfield, Research Administrator

        

“I was very pleased with the way she handled [a workstation accommodation]. She has great instincts. We even signed Deborah up to do a ‘lunch and learn’ for us… She is incredible! ”

--Edie Bottemiller, Worker’s Compensation Coordinator, Renton School District

     

     

        

"In my 14 years of firefighter wellness experience, I have not seen the level of commitment and the competency in being able to motivate and teach a wide variety of personalities that I see in Deborah. This is proven time and again, not alone in my own observations, but in the session evaluations that I review after Deborah's classes."

--Kevin Fetter, Wellness Coordinator & Peer Fitness Trainer, Snohomish County Fire District 1

       

        

        

"Deborah has developed a program with both long and short term goals, root caused oriented and implementable by staff and supervisors. I would recommend Deborah to any group which is seriously pursuing long terms solutions to job/task related issues."

-- E.J. Hook, Landscape Supervisor, Woodland Park Zoo

       

     

       

"Folks that would normally be grumbling about any kind of training were having appropriate conversations about safety after Deborah’s talk.”

--Woody Wilkinson, Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation, Director of Facilities and Maintenance Division  

       

        

"I have worked with Deborah involving functional training, injury prevention, ergonomics, and group exercise for firefighters. Her expertise, enthusiasm, and presentation skills made her classes a favorite among firefighters and helped reduce injuries in the fire service."

--Scott Peltin, Division Chief, Phoenix Fire Department

       

     

     

"Deborah was extremely helpful and friendly. She paid close attention to measurements to make sure her work was accurate. She pointed out some simple common sense things for us to change, e.g. having drawers at a level that is easier to get to. I learned a few thing about ergonomics in the process. She pointed out things that will make a huge difference in the day to day routines of work for everyone."

--Steve Vela, Evans Pool Coordinator, City of Seattle

"Deborah Read’s ability to help our employees understand how to set up their workstations and reduce strain was above and beyond that of our expectations.... Since the provision of her services we have had no complaints from our staff.”

--Sean Plattner, Safety Engineer, ICON Material

"You have been great to work with in everything.  It may sound funny, but, you keep me motivated to be a better leader for my guys."

--Jeremy McBride, West Valley City Fire Department, Utah
