Ergonomics Vehicle Assessment

2

Drivers may be spending significant lengths of time in vehicles with sedentary positions, which increases the risk of MSDs and discomfort as much as when working at a computer workstation in an office. Prolonged periods of sitting can place heavy demands of our posture, particularly when sitting in a vehicle due to added effects of movement and vibration on the body. It is important that anyone using a vehicle for work observes adequate ergonomic requirements to minimize the risk of injury.

Ergonomics Vehicle Assessments are for workers who are required to drive for their employer, workers with specific musculoskeletal complaints or companies who are looking to raise the awareness and education for drivers to improve their seated work posture and educate them on how to set the vehicle up to suit their specific needs.
