Ergonomic Assessment
Ergonomics is the process of designing or arranging workplaces, products and systems so that they fit the people who use them.
An ergonomic assessment is an assessment of a workstation to ensure correct working postures and workstation set-up. A good ergonomic assessment is done to reduce uncomfortable postures, repetitive tasks, and straining of the body.
