Ergonomic Assessment, Barossa Valley
Ensure your team are working in a safe, comfortable and efficient setting by offering them an ergonomic assessment.
What is an Ergonomic Assessment?
An ergonomic assessment, also referred to as a workstation assessment, assesses a person’s worksite to ensure the design minimises injury and maximises productivity.
Commonly used for office desk set up, these assessments also apply to all types of workstation design and set-up.
Benefits of an Ergonomic Assessment
- injury prevention
- improved productivity
- reduce fatigue that causes inefficiencies and work errors
- worker education on energy conservation and injury prevention strategies
- Identify workers that are at risk of having injury in the workplace.
Poor postures contribute significantly to preventable injury and fatigue.
Ergonomic Assessment help prevent injury and improve wellbeing and productivity for your team, making it a valuable investment for your business.
What is Involved in an Ergonomic Assessment?
A Tanunda Physio & Health physiotherapist trained in ergonomic assessments will visit your workplace to perform your assessments.
We ensure workstations are correctly set up to minimise the risk of injury, reduce worker fatigue and discomfort and therefore maximise productivity.
We will provide reports of the following factors:
- workstations
- desk and computer setup
- equipment including chairs & phones
- desk posture assessment
- stretches for injury prevention
- vehicles, machinery and equipment
When Should You Consider an Ergonomic Assessment?
There are many points in time that you should consider arranging for an assessment of your workstation.
These include:
- When you get pain from work
- When you get fatigue from work
- Setting up a new workstation
- Planning for a new worksite
(planning stage assessment can be the most effective time as you are working from a clean slate, not trying to retrofit or where you’ve already spent money on potentially incorrect design)
