Municipal Ergonomics
Bringing ergonomic interventions to the office, field, LTC staff, and first responders
Field Workers. First Responders. LTC Staff.
Responding to the diverse ergonomic challenges in the public sector
Municipalities provide a unique and broad diversity of services to the public. The importance of ergonomics for office workers is easily understood but it’s important to take on projects and initiatives aimed at supporting those outside the office: field workers, first responders, and LTC staff. Their work is varied and often physically demanding and the impact of tools, equipment, work processes, education and even changes to procurement processes, can have a significant impact on injury prevention and workplace culture.
How we help
- Educate on the importance of office ergonomic set-up for increased comfort
- Document physical demands to assist with early and safe return to work
- Document cognitive demands to support successful return to work for mental health claims
