Ergonomic Assessments

How it Works

• We will spend 1-2hrs with the employee in the work location, discussing problems and assessing how work tasks are performed. Solutions which can be implemented immediately will be recommended.
• Within 5 working days of the assessment, a written report is sent to the referrer via email with recommendations for further actions.
• The report will include contact details of recommended equipment suppliers, complete with product codes and prices for ease of ordering.

Benefits

• The costs of absence due to sickness will be reduced, as will the risk of costs due to insurance or litigation.
• Comfort and awareness of health will maximise worker productivity.
• All involved will gain valuable insight into 'best practice' in the workplace. This assessment would encompass employers' duties under the Display Screen Equipment Regulations 1992/2002.
• This assessment can also help prevent ill health in employees.

Suitability

• This assessment is suitable for an employee experiencing pain or discomfort, who is currently continuing to work or is on sick leave. The Company may have performed an internal H & S risk assessment but the discomfort and problems have continued. Therefore more specialist advice and help is required.
• This assessment can be conducted prior to an employee returning to work following a period of sick leave, in order to ensure that the work task layout and equipment are the most suitable for them.
