Perfect balance at work
Detect HIDDEN HEALTH RISKS
Companies that want to reduce musculoskeletal disorders and physical stress in the context of their workplace health promotion (WHP), benefit from our ergonomic and biomechanical know-how.
In order to increase the well-being and performance of all employees, our focus is on the systematic evaluation of working conditions (ArbSchG §§ 5-6) and on an individual ergonomic workplace design.
Our ergonomics analysis is based on the INDUSTRIAL ATHLETE measurement system. It offers the best possible support for occupational health and safety in terms of:
- Ergonomic workplace design
- Compliance with load norms and standards
- Low-fatigue and pain-free work
