It's hard to put into words, but here's the recipe: take ridiculously talented and motivated people, add a mission that matters, then sprinkle in a stimulating workspace with perks, programs and benefits that inspire a healthy, happy balance and there you have it. Magic.
1983. Dr. Thomas W. Votel sparks an industrial safety revolution with a unique solution to a widespread—and costly—problem. Four decades on, that spark has grown into a raging inferno of worksite safety innovation.
You can't tell the whole safety story without telling ours...
| THIS IS OUR LONG HISTORY OF CHANGING THE WAY WORK IS DONE |
With the creation of the first industrial back support, Ergodyne pioneers the ergonomics category before the word is even in the dictionary.
From the start, Ergodyne takes the lead in approaching PPE as one part of a programmatic preventative strategy.
One humble product explodes into an expanded universe of solutions with the introduction of the Tenacious Work Gear® line built around three pillars.
Ergodyne remains at the vanguard of innovation, including pioneering work in temperature stress, tool tethering, head protection and much more than this space allows us to go into.
Ergodyne joins the Klein Tools family. The partnership accelerates capabilities for bringing exciting new innovation to work crews and advancing workplace safety worldwide.
Serving, supporting, and protecting:
And anywhere real work is getting done
QSSP/OSHA 30 Certified
We move to proactively address the hazards threatening life and livelihood of work crews around the world.
Every 7 seconds, a worker is injured. So if you sense a bit of urgency from us, that’s because there’s no time to waste.

When it comes to laying the groundwork for safety, everything starts with PPE.

Victory (AKA zero workplace injuries) doesn’t come by throwing gear at an issue and calling it good. No matter who you are or what you do, we have resources to support you.
Our mission is to support safety and productivity on as many worksites as we can. And a critical element of that is supporting our distributor partners endeavoring to do the same. That's why we go well beyond features and benefits to surround these important stewards of safety with full-scale, end-to-end support needed to spread the good word, online or IRL.
We make sure all of our partners—from authorized dealers of Tenacious Work Gear® to worksite safety pros and crews—have the tools, programs and support needed to deliver and discover standout safety solutions online, in-store or out in the field.
When it comes to keeping tabs on PPE inventory, on-site vending is all that and a bag of chips. And with vend-ready packaging and full-scale supply chain support, we’re bringing site managers and PPE distributors together like cool and ranch—building efficiencies at every turn of the coil.
Mmm... smells like team spirit. Submit your design or use one of our ready-made templates to customize all sorts of Tenacious Work Gear®, from hi-vis to tents, multi-bands and more. Whatever you choose, we make it easy to make it your own. ergodyne.com/custom-logo
Our merchandising program is chock full of retail-ready displays and signage to help you highlight the finer points of Tenacious Work Gear® (and spruce up the joint while you’re at it). Bonus: Get ‘em free with minimum order quantities. You can even lean on us for the best way to set up product on your existing store fixtures—just contact support@ergodyne.com to chat about custom planogram options.
Ergodyne.com is a veritable buffet of product info. And we’re constantly baking in snazzy self-service tools to help you better communicate, compare and choose what products are best for you. Download product videos and spec sheets (co-branded, even!), create product lists and comparisons, customize your own flyers and more.
Pop the hood and you'll find three key components of the Ergodyne engine driving our mission––and safety success.
When it comes to worker safety, complacency kills. Which is why we never come to the table without new ideas to share and innovative solutions to add to your safety strategy.
Of 3.8 million disabling injuries each year, 15% are caused by slips, trips and falls. And it’s not just bruised egos at stake. With 700 fatalities in the workplace and up to 15% of workers compensation costs, it’s deadly serious (and costly)..Ergodyne teamed up with a major airline and MICHELIN®’s winter tire experts which led to the industry’s most innovative spikeless traction device
Tenacious Work Gear® is built and tested with worker input. ALWAYS. Because everything we do is driven by a commitment to deeply knowing what work crews are up against, day after day.
When one of the biggest ecomm giants in the world had a problem, Ergodyne and its partners had the solution—and then some.
From jobsite risk assessments to policy creation and schooling crews in the proper use of safety gear, we’re here to help you and your crew work safer, smarter and just plain better.
Mortenson's Zero Injury culture underpins a drive to build a better world and achieve great things with each project. It runs through everything they do and everybody who does it––from construction crews all the way up to the CEO. It’s a deep commitment shared and supported by dedicated partners like Ergodyne through innovative PPE, field training and four decades of experience helping crews navigate the hazards inherent to the work.
While they're out there building, serving, delivering and maintaining the world in which we all operate and often take for granted, we're out there with them.
Watching. Listening. Learning. Then bringing those insights & observations back to the lab to craft the most Tenacious Work Gear® on the planet––designed, built and tested to help hard-charging crews run roughshod over the workday (and look dang good doing it).
We obsessively design, test and retest every single solution we bring to the workforce. But that doesn’t mean we clock out when our gear hits the job site. Our army of Tenacious Testers keeps pushing us—and worker safety—to perfection with the kind of insight that can only come from time in the trenches. Your reviews, your reports from the field, become our improvements.
So, go ahead. Give it to us straight. Your unvarnished input is what we need to keep reaching for the stars. All five of them.
Whatever your platform preference, we've got the content to make your scrollin' thumb pause for the cause. Giveaways, new product drops, spectacular worksite fails and much more, it's just what you need to feed your insomnia or pass the time while hiding from your children in the bathroom.
Get switched on to Radio Free Tenacity, a podcast utterly obsessed with Making the Workplace a Betterplace™. Featuring the latest work gear, stimulating convos with experts & innovators and more than its fair share of surprises, worksite safety has never sounded so good.
