Risk assessments for older and disabled workers
We have carried out a wide variety of risk assessments for disabled and older workers, many of the workers assessed carried out different occupations and so faced a number of different ergonomic hazards which have increased in difficulty due to the individuals disability.
We also carry out return to work assessments.
