Vehicle Ergonomics To Optimise Your Driver Working Conditions
Specialising in car, truck and industrial machinery ergonomic assessments.
Driving all day or for extended periods can put extra strain on our bodies. This can be in the form of vibration, mental demands and muscle fatigue which can lead to musculoskeletal disorders.
At DriverOT, our assessments identify areas of concern and flag the necessary changes and the follow up to ensure you remain more productive behind the wheel.
DriverOT aims to assess a drivers fitness to drive. We assist drivers with medical conditions and disabilities to continue to drive safely. Fitness to drive is an important consideration in order to maintain community independence and mobility.
A medical referral is required for this assessment.
We can offer independent advice on aids and adaptations if required.
We look forward to working with you.
