What is an Ergonomic Assessment?

An ergonomic assessment or ergo assessment helps identify and minimize the health risks connected to improper workstation ergonomics. A workstation, for example, could be the front seat of a truck for drivers, a desk for office workers or a working station for factory workers. Ergonomics is about the interactions between people and their physical environments. An ergonomic assessment can help reduce musculoskeletal injuries in the workplace which is a common work-related injury. At Mountainview Health and Wellness ergonomic assessments are used to promote safe working postures according to ergonomic principles.
