Ergonomic Assessments in Ottawa, Gatineau, and Eastern Ontario
Are you concerned about your employees’ well-being? Ergo-Safety conducts on-site ergonomic assessments at your Ottawa-area home or work office. We can also analyze, design, assess, and deliver workplace-specific ergonomics training programs. We can help you modify and design your workplace and improve your in-house ergonomics program.
Companies are often prompted to contact us because their employees are suffering from some form of musculoskeletal discomfort at work, at home, or both. In many cases, these employees have already consulted a health provider who has recommended that they request an ergonomic assessment of their workspace. An ergonomic assessment can determine if there are any factors in your employees’ work environment or at their work station that may be contributing to their discomfort.
