Workplace Ergonomic Assessments

Comfortable, happy workers are far more productive

Ergonomic assessments are recommended for all office–based workers, to not only keep workers comfortable, pain and injury-free, and enhance productivity, but as a means of reducing compensable claims and associated costs for the employer.

An ergonomic assessment is performed by an Occupational Therapist and involves direct consultation with the worker at their workstation, to assess their role, work processes and equipment used and provide on-the-spot education on correct set-up of the workstation and adjustment of the chair. Recommendations made by the assessor will then be detailed in a written summary report.

PROACTIVE versus REACTIVE Ergonomic Assessments

Proactive Ergonomic Assessments

A proactive ergonomic assessment is preventative in nature and takes approximately 30 minutes or less. This type of assessment is suitable for all employees who have not reported symptoms or injury. This ensures employees are aware of ergonomic principles, correct workstation setup and chair adjustment. A proactive ergonomic assessment is also ideal for new staff, to ensure they learn the ergonomic fundamentals and implement safe workstation and chair adjustment from the outset.

A brief summary report is provided, outlining any recommended equipment, such as footrests, monitor stands, document holders, etc.

Reactive Ergonomic Assessments

A reactive ergonomic assessment takes approximately 45 - 60 minutes and is suitable for people who are injured or complaining of pain or other symptoms. The assessment is conducted by a qualified health professional and in addition to the ergonomic assessment, includes a discussion with the employee about their current symptoms and treatment.

A detailed report is provided, summarising the history of injury/complaints and outlining the findings and any recommended equipment.

Prevention is better than cure and ergonomic assessments are a highly effective tool for mitigating the risk of workplace injury and promoting safety. Aches, pains and discomforts commonly experienced by office workers may be preliminary to injury, which can be prevented by empowering workers with knowledge of correct workstation adjustment, safe working postures and the importance of regular movement and stretching.

Ergonomic assessments are not only suitable for workers with a specific injury, disability or symptoms but also for healthy, symptom-free workers, to prevent injury and maximise performance.
