OFFICE ERGONOMICS ASSESSMENTS
When employees spend a majority of their work day at a desk, it is not uncommon to hear physical complaints of discomfort and pain in the neck, back, shoulder and/or wrists. There are many factors that may contribute to these symptoms including keying, phone use, mouse usage, reading copy, and the list goes on. Additionally, incorrect adjustment or placement of equipment, as well as personal health conditions, may lead to symptoms of pain, discomfort, numbness/tingling, headaches, sleeplessness, etc. Buckner Smith Consulting offers two types of office ergonomic assessments to meet your needs at work or at home.
