Ergoassess Testimonials
Nutricia
“ErgoAssess was first implemented by Nutricia following a significant Worker’s Compensation claim, which identified the need for improved ergonomics training and risk assessment. The ErgoAssess tool has been a fantastic resource for our company, which has allowed us to assess the risk of all our staff, both office based and those who work from home. As the system educates staff with individual recommendations, we have found that since completion of the survey, Nutricia has recorded an increase in staff comfort levels, an increase in productivity and a reduction in work related injuries. I highly recommend ErgoAssess as a tool that any organisation can use to comprehensively assess risk in a cost effective and time saving manner. I am confident that if we had implemented ErgoAssess earlier, we could have avoided a costly compensation claim. “

ErgoAssess and home based working
ErgoAssess was implemented by McKesson to assess and reduce the risks posed to our 429 Australia and 120 NZ home based workers. Prior to this, McKesson used a paper based risk assessment which included asking staff to take several photographs of their home office. As well as proving time consuming for employees, this paper based process also presented significant time demands on those managers who had the unenviable task of tracking and monitoring these assessments.
As ErgoAssess is an online solution, it has enabled McKesson to easily assess the work environments of all remote workers, as well as providing consistent education and training to every employee. ErgoAssess was initially customised to ensure it appeared as a McKesson initiative and the content was specifically tweaked to suit the individual requirements of our organisation. We recognisethat having employees in their home environments poses certain OHS risks, often different to those of a normal office environment and by being able to tailor ErgoAssess to mitigate these risks, we are ensuring that our staff are working in a safe home office environment.
ErgoAssess has enabled us to improve the attitude of staff towards the importance of health and safety by educating and training employees to take responsibility of their own working environment. Ergoassess is an interactive solution which resulted in a great increase in the participation rate & an improvement of the efficiency of completion, this is due to a number of benefits to the ErgoAssess system, namely: ease of use, step by step instructions, excellent education tips, picture format & minimal time needed to complete.
The roll out of ErgoAssess has been seamless and the ErgoAssess team have been fantastic in providing us with a close level of continued support. It is reassuring to know that we have a team of experienced physiotherapists and ergonomists nearby should we require any further assistance.
Marnie Douglas and her team provided seamless, professional and expert support throughout the whole process.

ErgoAssess has been implemented and rolled-out to our staff across Australia to minimise potential hazard. The implementation of ErgoAssess will allow employees to identify and manage their own issues prior to any escalation to management and/or serious work-related injuries. Of course, the business reasons for the establishment of the program lie in increased productivity efficiencies by identification of work processes that are physically inhibiting through to a reduction of lost time due to workplace-related injuries and/or maladies... we believe that the ErgoAssess system is a welcome addition that complements and enhances our offering to employees.

Interfleet Technology
“Interfleet used the ErgoAssess tool to assist in addressing our OHS obligations. As an organization we understand the increasing importance of providing a safe working environment for our employees, while also identifying risk within the workplace. While the risk of injury to office workers from their immediate workstation is often overlooked, ErgoAssess has provided an effective solution to enabling staff to make changes to their workstation via the tips and specific recommendations provided to them. The software addresses the key aspects that a face to face assessment would, at a fraction of the cost. The backend reporting allows us to identify risks and trends, while keeping a concise audit trail. Being a web based application, it was simple to roll out across the entire organization for existing staff. In addition, it has now also become part of our induction process for new staff.”
