| Ergonomics Services | |||
We are committed to the philosophy of using ergonomics principles to promote the modern concept that ‘work should be comfortable when we are well, and accommodating when we are ill’ (Hadler 1997). That requires a multimodal approach to get all the players onside, and is much more than a physical ergonomics intervention. Work should not be considered to be ‘toxic. Work is essentially good for health and well-being, assuming that significant workplace hazards are controlled through suitable risk assessment and ergonomic intervention. There is a strong business case for a common sense approach to workplace
ergonomics. Working with all tiers of management, as well as human resources,
health & safety reps and workers, we work with you to improve the
quality of the work and the workplace within a supportive environment.
Operationalising all this is where we come in. | ||||
