Active Rehab Works - Ergonomic Assessment Services

What are Ergonomic Assessments?

Ergonomic assessments usually involve the analysis and evaluation of an employee’s workstation and surrounding work area. Information is gathered to see if any facets of the work station / area contribute to, or aggravate an employee’s injury. Modifications are usually recommended to alleviate further injuries and symptoms.
