Office ergonomics training

Workstation adjustment is an essential skill in preventing musculoskeletal injuries associated with office work (e.g., low back pain, tendonitis, cervical tension, etc.). In addition, the purchase of new equipment does not necessarily solve the problem and can be a bad investment if it is not chosen accordingly.

An approach focused on training

At Intergo, we empower employees in their ability to adjust to their own needs. It is often realized that the equipment at your disposal can allow for an acceptable degree of adjustment once employees are appropriately trained. Investments in prevention avoid costly problems.
