Ergonomics - Consulting
IOM Ergonomics helps a wide range of businesses, local government and voluntary agencies to successfully design and manage the interaction between people and their working environment. We help to prevent injuries associated with manual handling, repetitive tasks and working with display screen equipment, through advising on appropriate equipment, task and work place design and layout.
