Ergonomic Assessments in Melbourne

We offer two different types of ergonomic assessments - Individual Ergonomic Assessments or Ergonomic Office Sweeps. See below for more details.

Individual Ergonomic Assessments are reactive in nature and are for employees who have an existing injury or have provided you (the employer) with a medical certificate requesting an assessment.

​Ergonomic Office Sweeps are proactive in nature, and involve a brief ergonomic assessment of each workstation within the workplace, aimed at preventing issues before they arise.

INDIVIDUAL ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENTS

Individual ergonomic assessments are indicated if an employee is injured, regularly complains of pain, or has presented their employer with a medical certificate requesting an ergonomic assessment as part of their treatment. Individual ergonomic assessments are more in-depth than ergonomic office sweeps, requiring more time with the employee and a detailed report.

What is included in an Individual Ergonomic Assessment?

  • An assessment by a qualified and experienced Physiotherapist who specialises in occupational health and workplace injury prevention. The assessment includes and discussion with the employee about their injury, as well as assessment of the workstation.
  • All necessary adjustments to the employees' workstation.
  • A detailed report provided to your nominated HR/OHS representative outlining our findings, and any additional recommendations, such as preventative exercises or ergonomic equipment

Time required for an Individual Ergonomic Assessment?

​We will require approximately 30 minutes of time with your employee onsite to perform a thorough Individual Ergonomic Assessment.
ERGONOMIC OFFICE SWEEP

Ergonomic sweeps ensure that you have an ergonomically friendly office space and that your employees' workstations are set up ergonomically. As such, Ergonomic Office Sweeps are aimed at preventing issues before they arise. 

Ergonomic sweeps are ideal if there have been any recent office modifications such as a re-fit or relocation, or as a general preventative tool to improve staff wellness.

​The Ergonomic Physio is often engaged by organisations to perform ergonomic sweeps as part of their health and wellbeing programs.
​
What is included in an Ergonomic Office Sweep?

  • A 10-15 minutes ergonomic assessment of each workstation within your workplace, conducted by a qualified and experienced Physiotherapist who specialises in occupational health and workplace injury prevention.
  • Appropriate changes to your employees' workstations on the day of the assessments.
  • A report outlining any further recommendations for any of the employees assessed (NB: If we feel that an employee would benefit from a particular piece of equipment, this will not be discussed with the employee. Instead, it will be provided to you in the report).

Time required for an Ergonomic Office Sweep?

We require approximately 15 minutes with each employee at their workstation.
