Workplace ergonomics

Many ergonomics providers focus solely on workplace assessment. At Active Return, we combine expertise in workplace ergonomics and injury management. This means we can assess workplace risk factors, identify the causes of musculoskeletal problems, recommend practical workplace modifications and deliver training to prevent future injuries. In addition we can rehabilitate injured employees. This unique combination allows us to both treat existing problems and prevent future ones.

Ergonomics assessments

Using ergonomics tools such as RULA, QEC and MAC we will assess employees in the workplace and make recommendations for change to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
