I am an Onsite Worker
Onsite work can present some challenges and may involve doing repetitive, awkward, or forceful tasks that can take a toll on your body.
There are numerous resources so you can help yourself, obtain needed accessories /equipment or get 1:1 assistance.
An ergonomics evaluation is when an Ergo Advocate or EHS Ergo Team member partners with you 1:1 to help you optimize the safety and comfort of your work area. You can request an ergo evaluation any time for any of your work locations... office, lab or shop. We especially encourage employees to report discomfort early and request an ergo evaluation right away.
