Online Ergonomic Assessments

Our virtual ergonomic assessments are the ideal way to ensure your employees have a safe working environment when working from home.

During our virtual ergonomic assessments, we guide your employees through the process of setting up their home office workstation in the most ergonomically friendly manner. Our online ergonomic assessments also provide your employees with an opportunity to ask us, in our capacity as Physiotherapists, any pain or injury prevention questions they may have that are specific to their circumstances. 

Our online ergonomic assessments also allow us to identify high-risk employees, and areas for improvement, so we can pass this information onto you as the employer. 

We offer three levels of online ergonomic assessments, listed below. 

Please contact us here if you would like to arrange online assessments for your employees.

Home Office Ergonomic Package

This is the most cost-effective solution for employers wanting to continue to meet their OHS obligations towards their employees who are now working from home. The Home Office Education Package provides employees with all of the information they need to set up their home office in the most ergonomically friendly and comfortable way.

Includes:
​
  • Video tutorial – office desk ergonomic assessment and desk set up.
  • Video tutorial – home office ergonomic assessment/desk set up and tips.
  • Photograph series showing changes that can be made to a typical home office set up to improve posture and comfort.
  • Injury prevention information to ensure your employees are empowered to take control of their own health whilst working from home. 
  • Stretches and exercises to prevent overuse injuries from occurring. 
  • Ergonomic step-by-step checklist and diagram for a seated workstation.
  • Ergonomic step-by-step checklist and diagram for a standing workstation.

The main difference between this package and the online ergonomic assessments listed below is that employees do not get one-on-one time with one of our consultants.

Online Ergonomic Assessment - Level 1

Level 1 online ergonomic assessments are designed to act as a substitute to ergonomic office sweeps in the office setting. 

During a level 1 online ergonomic assessment, we will guide your employees through the process of setting up their home office workstation ergonomically. We will also identify any areas for improvement, as well identify high-risk employees, and pass this information on to you as the employers. 

Level 1 online ergonomic assessments include:
​
  • One-on-one online ergonomic assessment and discussion with one of our Physiotherapists. 
  • During this assessment we will guide you employees through the process of setting up their home office in the most ergonomically friendly manner. 
  • We will also educate each employee how to best prevent musculoskeletal pain or injury from developing. 
  • We will identify “high-risk” employees and provide this feedback to you as the employer. 
  • Recommendations for equipment where indicated (this information is provided to the employer, not the employee).
  • Conducted via zoom and mobile video call.
     
Assessment method:
  • Online via Zoom.

Online Ergonomic Assessment - Level 2

Level 2 online ergonomic assessments are for those who have a pre-existing injury. They are a substitute for our Individual Ergonomic Assessments usually performed in the office.

The key difference between the level 1 and level 2 online ergonomic assessments is that level 2 ergonomic assessments involve a more in-depth assessment and are accompanied by a detailed report. 

Level 2 online ergonomic assessments include:

  • One-on-one online ergonomic assessment and discussion with one of our expert Physiotherapists. 
  • During this in-depth assessment we will be able to take a thorough history of the employees' presenting symptoms and discuss the injury in detail. 
  • We will be able to advise each employee how to best set up their home workstation using the equipment that they have available. 
  • We will also provide education about working behaviours and tips to prevent exacerbation of the current injury or onset of new problems.
  • A detailed report will be provided to the employer listing our findings, opinion and any recommendations that we have (i.e. equipment).

We provide a complimentary follow up phone call 3 days after the assessment to ensure the employee is progressing as we expected after their ergonomic assessment. 

Employees will also get access to the Home Office Education Package mentioned above.
 
Assessment method:
  • Online, by Zoom, Skype or video call. ​​
