Ergonomic Assessment

This assessment involves assessing the need to adjust and make recommendations regarding the employee's workstation including, but not limited to:
The assessment also considers the employee's
- Posture
- Work habits
- Work speed
- Individual limitations
- Repetitious movements
Following an ergonomic assessment there are usually recommendations made to the employee about the posture, having rest and stretches break etc. The employer is notified if there is a requirement for any pieces of equipment.
The aim of these assessments is to recognise potential risk factors for the individual using the workstation and provide them with strategies to maximise their ergonomic worksation and minimise the risk of injury.
