Description

The ERGOPAR Method is a participatory ergonomics procedure for the prevention of ergonomic risk in the workplace. It has been conceived to identify exposure to ergonomic risk factors as a result of work and the causes of exposure, to agree on the best preventive measures to eliminate or at least reduce risk situations, to implement them and to monitor and continuously improve them.
