Ergonomics

Work Injuries can often cause severe and debilitating symptoms such as pain, numbness and tingling. These often lead to reduced worker productivity, lost time from work, and temporary or permanent disability. Common causes include poor ergonomics (job set up), repetitive, forceful, or prolonged movements or heavy lifting, pushing, pulling and carrying of heavy objects. Others include prolonged faulty postures and exposure to vibration or an unsafe work environment. Regular exercise has been shown to improve health and have a positive effect on sick leave and productivity.
