Ergonomics & Repetitive Strain - Tell us where it hurts...

Ergonomics in the workplace have become increasingly important in order to help keep healthcare costs of employees in check. It's a great source of preventative medicine - it can assist in reducing:

• the overall number of employee sick days (which reduces paying out for sick days as well)

• the amount of $$ used by employees on their third party insurance plan

• the premiums on company insurance plans

• the cost of training replacement employees

• the cost of short/long-term disability

It's so popular now that the Canadian Government even has a useful resource or two on the www.labour.gc.ca website!
