Ergonomics is a science-based discipline that brings together knowledge from other subjects such as anatomy and physiology, musculoskeletal pathologies, engineering and statistics. Rather than expecting people to adapt to a workspace that forces them to work in an uncomfortable, stressful or dangerous way, ergonomic assessments can be used to re-design the work space to suit the person.
We frequently use ergonomic workplace assessments to recommend changes to a workstation to reduce the risk of work-related injury. We also use ergonomic assessments to comment on an individual’s fitness to return to work after an absence e.g. following a prolonged absence due to surgery or an injury.
Ergonomic workplace assessments are commonly associated with display screen equipment (DSE) workstations. However, we frequently provide assessments for manual jobs in the manufacturing industry, as well as providing many specialist ergonomic DSE workplace assessments.
We offer a range of high quality and cost effective ergonomic office solutions and sit-stand desks in our online store.
Including medical history and task analysis. We can provide advice on return to work plans, give recommendations and solutions for keeping employees at work, and provide help on sourcing the most cost-effective ergonomic desks, chairs and office furniture, based on the individual’s specific needs and anthropometric measurements.
Mini 1 to 1 assessments for each individual within the whole office, providing specific ergonomic recommendations where required and giving advice on posture, breaks, and injury prevention.
Including medical history and task analysis. We provide recommendations on how to alter the workstation, where possible, to better suit the individual and reduce physical stress and minimise the risk of work-related musculoskeletal injury. We provide return to work plans and advice on job rotation, fitness for work and future prognosis.
