Workplace Ergonomics
Good workplace ergonomics reduce worker fatigue, injury, and complaints; and improve workplace safety and worker productivity and satisfaction.
PSE's Workplace Ergonomics Services evaluate and design physical aspects of tools, devices, workstations, and workplaces. We use a comprehensive set of ergonomic standards, guidelines, and methods to design and implement safe, productive, and efficient work environments.
PSE provides design recommendations for tools and workspaces that optimize the interaction between workers and their environments.
PSE also offers training programs to help workers take full advantage of the ergonomic features of their work environments.
