Ergonomics

Ergonomics is defined as fitting the workplace to the worker and examining the interaction between the worker and his/her environment. Early identification of ergonomic deficiencies with prompt intervention helps maintain a comfortable work environment.

The purpose of an ergonomic assessment is to either prevent a problem or injury from occurring or to correct an existing problem. An ergonomic assessment should be conducted with the employee’s needs in mind and it is highly recommended that the assessment be conducted when the employee is present.  We provide companies with information to help reduce musculoskeletal disorders, increase productivity, and reduce absenteeism at your work-site.
