Workplace Ergonomics Assessment

An ergonomic assessment involves reviewing and analysing how an employee’s workstation is set up. This helps to ensure that working postures and ergonomic work practices are optimal in functioning.

By examining an employee’s workstation, we determine and minimise the risk of work-related injury and posture issues. Assessments can be made by analysing if the staff is desk-bound, warehouse based or on the road driving. In this way, we optimise their workstation set up and help to boost their productivity.

Common Conditions Caused by Poor Workplace Ergonomics

• Risk of Workplace Injuries
• Posture Issues
• Back Pain
• Shoulder Pain
• Increased Risk of Strain, Tears and Sprains
• Hernia
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Arthritis

Process of Ergonomic Assessment

Initial Inspection

The process, generally, starts with the inspection of the workplace. The team visits the workplace and takes note of the problems and accesses the risk factors. They take into consideration the type of chairs available for the employee and other such factors.

Images and Videos

During the assessment, experts take images and make videos of the workstation to get a better idea of the factors that affect the employee’s health.

Discussion with Employee

The assessment experts then talk to the employee to get feedback from them. This step helps to get critical insights on the prevalent risks they face. A series of questions are asked to them about the nature of their job, health conditions they have etc.

Report Preparation

Based on the data experts have collected, they prepare a detailed report. This report also includes images/videos captured during the initial phase.

Adjustment Recommendation

Lastly, recommendations for necessary adjustments are made to ensure the employee works in a proper condition with a minimum chance of suffering from any health issue due to poor ergonomics. Also, if the employee requires additional equipment, it is included in the list of recommendations.
