Location for training?

​

All ergonomic training sessions are delivered onsite at your workplace. The first part of the session is educational in nature, and is best done in a room with a whiteboard or projector screen. The second part of the session is delivered out in your office space, as it involves a practical demonstration of an ergonomic assessment, which requires access to your standard office equipment.
