A safety assessment is an in-depth evaluation of workplace environments, tasks, equipment, and workflows to identify potential hazards and safety risks. By examining physical demands, posture, repetitive motions, and workstation layout, the assessment pinpoints factors that could lead to employee injuries or chronic musculoskeletal disorders. This evaluation provides organizations with actionable data to implement preventative controls and ensure regulatory compliance.
