About Us
About Ergo-Safety
Ergo-Safety was founded in 1992. We believe it is in everyone’s best interest that our customers receive the highest quality ergonomic care possible. Therefore, we ensure that our assessors have the latest ergonomics-related knowledge and skills through an established quality assurance program, continued education, and our own reviews of new ergonomics studies, practices, evaluation tools, and techniques. We regularly attend Canadian and international conferences covering new ergonomic research.

Our Team
At Ergo-Safety, we believe that individuals working in the field of ergonomics should be certified by the Canadian College for the Certification of Professional Ergonomists (CCCPE) or be registered Kinesiologists or Physiotherapists.
The CCCPE regulates the practice of ergonomics and ergonomists within Canada. Their monitoring ensures that people who practice ergonomics have the knowledge and skills necessary to work in the discipline as well as adequate familiarity, competency, and experience with the tools and methods used to apply that knowledge.
