Occupational Hygiene Service Ergonomic Assessments from OHSS

At OHSS Safety Consultants, we are well known for our work we do in the field of asbestos abatement and asbestos removal, as well as our expertise and knowledge of asbestos regulations. However, this is only part of what we do, which extends much further out in the areas of safety and occupational hygiene.


One of the services we offer are ergonomic assessments, which are concerned with how people fit together with their working environment and the tools and machinery that they use. When this interface happens incorrectly, it can lead to employee fatigue, decreased levels of performance and ultimately, a less successful business.


Ergonomic Analysis


An ergonomic assessment is able to help design the working environment to best support the person in job, enabling the highest possible quality of work. As a science, ergonomics also attempts to eliminate risks present that lead to injury, resulting in absenteeism through poor health and potential claims for compensation.

The Risk


When ergonomically correct working conditions are not observed, it increases the risk of not only costly litigation and lower productivity, but also an array of work related conditions.

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome - a particularly painful problem

  • Repetitive strain injuries

  • Back & shoulder problems

  • Upper limb disorders

  • Migraines and eye strain conditions

The ergonomic assessment services we provide, evaluate the working environment holistically, so as to identify the optimum control mechanism to mitigate risk and allow your business to thrive.
