Ergonomics
Ergonomics is often associated with the prevention and treatment of disorders such as RSI (repetitive strain injury), which can affect office workers. Although this certainly is a core area, ergonomics isn't restricted to the office environment. Services range from risk assessments for factory workers to moving and handling training for core workers and much more.
