About Worksite Health & Safety Consultants

Worksite Health and Safety Consultants, LLC was founded by Naomi Abrams, OTD, MOT, OTR/L, CEAS to provide comprehensive ergonomic, injury prevention and injury management services. While treating patients clinically, Dr. Abrams also consulted with companies regarding return to work and wellness programs. From those experiences, she became convinced that individuals and employers could effectively prevent worksite injuries and health-related problems if they knew what steps to take. As an occupational therapy practioner, Dr. Abrams specialized in the treatment and prevention of repetitive strain injuries and common work-related complaints including back and neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and lateral epicondylitis. A true believer in working hard to put herself out of business, Dr. Abrams and the WHSC staff strive to teach everyone that preventing injury is an attainable goal! The ErgoEdge system provides an easy to follow approach that makes injury prevention and ergonomics into a program that can be integrated into every company policy and culture. We believe that equipment should not be the focus of managing injuries. Office managers and safety professionals are often afraid of the word “ergonomics” because they associate it with spending money on things that don’t work. Research and proven results back up our approach. We are not associated with any equipment manufacturers or distributors so that we can keep an objective viewpoint when evaluating the company's needs — equipment is only recommended when truly needed. WHSC is based in Maryland but serves clients around the globe. Our focus on integrating programs into the client company's culture makes us uniquely qualified to work with clients with international employees. Our staff have traveled around the world and work with qualified cultural experts to ensure that programs not only meet current research guidelines but will meet the specialized needs of each region.
