Ergonomic Evaluation
Specialists conduct an on-site evaluation, observing work practices, workstation setups, and identifying risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders.
Recommendation Report
A detailed report is provided, highlighting findings and suggesting ergonomic interventions, from equipment adjustments to training on proper work practices.
Implementation Support
Guidance is offered to help implement the recommended changes, ensuring that they are effectively integrated into the workplace.
Follow-Up and Continuous Improvement
The assessment process includes follow-up evaluations to ensure that the interventions have been successful and to make further adjustments as needed.

This structured approach ensures that every aspect of workplace ergonomics is thoroughly assessed and addressed, leading to a healthier, more comfortable, and productive work environment.
