It is common to hear of employees suffering various aches or pains. Typical complaints include back, shoulder, neck, wrist and forearm pains. If left unattended they can become injuries and subsequent workers compensation claims. A workstation or ergonomic assessment is designed to minimise the risk of injury and increase employee productivity. To find guidelines and suggestions please read more.
Workstation Ergonomic Assessment – when compared to the potential costs associated with a workers compensation claim and resulting impact to premiums, a workstation ergonomic assessment is a low cost investment into improving the health and well being of your employees.
We use professional Occupational Therapists (OT) to undertake workstation ergonomic assessments to assess the specific needs of individuals that have either a history of complaints/aches/pains or are returning to work following an injury or incident. This investment will help ensure the configuration of the work environment minimises risk of injury and consequently helps improve productivity.
Some businesses prefer to take initial steps themselves in minimising such risks. Should you wish to do so, please Contact Us for a free copy of our Workstation Ergonomic Assessment process that provides quick and easy steps you can follow in reviewing a workstation or desk configuration for an employee. Again we encourage businesses to invest in Ergonomic Assessments to ensure the best possible outcome for your employees.
