Office Ergonomics Assessment Criteria
What do we look for during an office ergonomics assessment? We’ve developed a summary outlining the criteria that we look for during an assessment. By making your workstation meet these criteria you will improve comfort, productivity, quality of work, and morale. Please contact us for more information regarding office ergonomics assessments.
