Field service workers encounter a wide variety of safety hazards throughout their day. Their work consists of driving and performing on-site tasks in a variety of often uncontrolled environments. Awkward postures, excessive force and prolonged positions are common. Learn practical, effective and proactive ergonomic strategies to improve worker health and safety.
