Practical ergonomics assessment for office, industrial and operational work.
IEH supports organisations in identifying ergonomic and human factors issues that may affect health, safety, comfort, productivity and work performance.
We review postures, movements, force, repetition, duration, work pace, manual handling demands and the physical capabilities required to perform the task safely.
We assess workstation setup, reach distances, working heights, tool use, equipment interface, seating, display screen arrangement and layout constraints.
Where relevant, we consider lighting, thermal comfort, heat stress, workflow, job design, communication, fatigue, psychosocial factors and organisational arrangements.
