Weekly, on-site early intervention clinics for employees can be utilized for both work-related and non-work-related discomforts. Employees enjoy having free access to a skilled therapist at their place of employment. Catching a work-related discomfort early, can prevent it from becoming a serious injury down the road. Work Safe believes that prevention is ideal for both the employee and the employer.

Industrial ergonomics can be complicated since the job generally involves large, expensive equipment and many employees who can be a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Fitting the job to the worker is a complicated process that will generally involve stakeholders from departments that can include: the employees performing the job, health services, safety, engineering, production management, HR, and others. With industrial ergonomics, the goal is to make the job the safest it can be for the widest variety of people. Industrial ergonomics can vary from very small projects to very large projects.

Office ergonomics is the science of fitting the workspace to the worker.
