Ergonomics

Working from home now? Perhaps you've come to realize that your office setup is actually not ideal for you, and moreover for your body? Ergonomics is a word we've been hearing a ton about lately!

Ergonomics is "fitting the job to the worker." No matter what work you do, it plays an important role in preventing occupational injury and illness. We provide ergonomic evaluations, assessments, and modification plans. The evaluation involves observing you performing typical tasks, and then adjusting the workstation as needed (such as modifying a seating system, computer workstation, lifting tasks, adding biomechanical breaks, etc.).

Proper ergonomics evaluation and workstation fitting can benefit both employers and employees by:

• Reducing injury risks
• Reducing work-related injury costs
• Improve the quality of work performed
• Reducing employee time off work
• Addressing repetitive stress injuries before they become chronic
• Improving employee morale and wellbeing
