Workplace ergonomics assessments

Ergonomics: The Science of Work

A service that Spine & Sport offers is ergonomic assessments. An ergonomic assessment is defined as a workplace evaluation in which the physical therapist assists in identifying risk factors related to the furnishings, tools, and job duties; provides recommendations on how to eliminate those risk factors; educates employers and employees on how to prevent or treat injuries, as well as how to better accommodate the disabled in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

For the employer, it means that your company is compliant with any organizational standards such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA.) It also means for the employees, that you are able to complete the duties required in a safe environment and spend less time off work due to injuries that can be prevented. Ergonomic assessments create safe, healthy, and efficient work environments for all industries.
