Workstation Ergonomics Assessment

Ergonomic assessment ensures that an individual’s work area and workflow are suitable for the individual and the tasks they have to perform. By evaluating factors such as reach, repetition, duration, weight, grip, lighting and temperature, we can understand how the human body interacts with the environment and complete any adjustment to ensure that risk or injury is mitigated. Ergonomic assessment can relate to both office settings and industrial environments.

Returning – New Employer

A thorough and effective Ergonomic Assessment can be complex and takes time to ensure the prevention of injury. The industry standard is to complete quick set-up checks of workstations that are, on the whole ineffective and unlikely to prevent injury. We can provide holistic assessments of the full role, with professional and honest feedback given in relation to your operation, work practices and correct working aids. We will focus on you achieving ergonomic results, i.e valid and cost-effective recommendations regarding elimination of unsafe work practices and modifications that can be made to existing furniture and equipment.
