Ergonomic Assessment

Ergonomic Assessments

Ergonomics, also sometimes called “human factors”, examines the “fit” between an employee and their work. Ergonomics puts the employee first, taking account of an individual’s capabilities and limitations, ensuring that tasks, equipment, information and the environment fit each employee.

All assessment and any recommendations are aimed at assisting the employer in maintaining compliance with regulation and HSE guidance.
