Why is ergonomic assessment important?

The average person spends about 50% of their waking hours at work! This is about 1/3 of your life. It is a significant amount of time! Yet often little thought is put into making sure that space is designed to your body type.

Little aches and pains can lead to serious medical conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome or chronic back pain. Most of these can be prevented with a little investment of time and modifications to your work environment.

With 30 years experience and training in ergonomic assessment OFIX has the know-how to help you design your space to be ergonomically appropriate. “Sometimes it is small changes that can make the greatest difference”. Dave Mallory, President.
