GMAC-RFC

Problem

GMAC-RFC is a relatively new organization within Australia.  With a newly refurbished office and a rapidly growing work force, GMAC-RFC wanted to get office ergonomics and the working environment right from the get go.  GMAC-RFC values their associates and takes their health, safety and welfare at work seriously.

To ensure GMAC-RFC was meeting their legislative responsibilities and their associates needs, Ergoworks was contacted to conduct individual workstation assessments organization wide.

Action

Ergoworks conducted individual workstation assessments and education sessions with all Associates.  The one on one interaction ensured we met individual needs. GMAC-RFC also received a comprehensive report detailing potential problem areas as well as a selection of solutions to each issue to allow GMAC-RFC the flexibility to make realistic and cost effective changes.

The Impact

GMAC-RFC is teaching Associates to be proactive when it comes to health, safety and welfare in the working environment.  Ergoworks has assisted GMAC-RFC in cementing this philosophy within the organization.

Since the assessments there has been a noticeable decrease in absence as staff become more aware about injury prevention.We have also seen more associates taking proactive steps in reporting OHS hazards, use of stretch exercises, use of our lunch room (rather than eating at ones desk), obtaining the right equipment and making modifications as necessary.

CHAMP EQUITY

With an organisation of over forty people, a number of whom spend most of their time sitting at desks and working from computer screens, poor posture habits were developing, leading to some people experiencing serious aching muscles and joints.

Ergoworks individually assessed each member of staff, the positioning of their desk equipment, and gave recommendations on ergonomic aids such as lumber supports, wrist rests, etc.  They provided information charts, and followed up with a written report on each individual.

As our company expanded, we have used the services of Ergoworks again to assist new employees and as a refresher course to those who received the earlier consultations.  We have always found Ergoworks to be efficient, punctual and, more importantly, effective!

Marnie Douglas from Ergoworks was engaged mid 2007 to assist with the ergonomic assessments of our Sydney and Melbourne corporate offices as well as our Rosehill and Perth site offices.

At this time, Ergoworks provided a thorough ergonomic review of each individual’s work station throughout the company. 

Ergoworks spent time with each team member in a one on one assessment and then compiled a written report outlining recommendations for each individual, including suggestions for work station layout, preventative stretches and exercises and minor equipment changes to ensure correct seating position and posture.

CIP is committed to the health, safety and welfare of all team members and the ergonomic recommendations of Ergoworks ensure that not only are we complying with our legal obligations, more importantly, that we are providing a safe and comfortable work environment throughout each of our offices.
