Ergonomic evalutation of a workstation.

»

You work long hours in front of your desk and you are starting to develop symptoms, including pain? You are an employer and you wish to optimize the ergonomics of your employees’ office to avoid injuries or repeated absences at work? We can help you!

Workplaces require productive and efficient employees. Working for long periods of time in a poorly designed environment can increase the risk of injury (e.g., handling heavy loads, repetitive motions, awkward postures). These situations can lead to a decrease in productivity and quality of performance. This reinforces the need of proper workstation ergonomics to reduce costs related to absences, disability benefits and worker rehabilitation.
