Vehicle Ergonomic Assessment Bendigo
Just like the desk is the workstation for an office worker, the car is the workstation for employees who spend prolonged periods driving.
A vehicle ergonomic assessment helps to ensure the vehicle is adjusted to suit the individual requirements of the user, as well as provides an opportunity to provide tailored education and training to the employee to best prevent injury.
​
Vehicle ergonomic assessments also allow us to provide you with advice on the suitability of fleet vehicles, by helping you determine if a vehicle is fit for purpose.
​
Our car ergonomic assessments are performed by qualified and experienced Workplace Physiotherapists who have an in-depth understanding of ergonomics and workplace injury prevention.
