Ergonomic Assessments
Whether you're an employer looking to reduce workplace risk or an employee experiencing discomfort at work, an ergonomic assessment can help identify practical improvements that support health, productivity and performance. APM WorkCare's experienced clinicians assess the interaction between people, tasks and work environments to recommend tailored solutions that help prevent injury, improve comfort and support sustainable work outcomes.
Work smarter, safer and more comfortably.
An ergonomic assessment evaluates how a person interacts with their workstation, equipment, tools and work tasks. The goal is to identify factors that may contribute to discomfort, fatigue or injury risk and provide practical recommendations that support safe and effective work.
Assessments can be delivered onsite, remotely, or as part of a broader workplace wellbeing, injury prevention or return to work program.
