What is an Ergonomic Assessment?

Ergonomic assessments consider the relationship that an individual has with all of the equipment and furniture at his or her workstation, such as the chair position, desk height, monitor and laptop positions, keyboard, and mouse. Environmental factors such as lighting, glare, noise and temperature are also be considered when applicable. 

An ergonomic assessment ensures that your employees' workstation is set up in a way that suits his or her individual health needs, improving comfort and reducing the risk of an overuse injury developing. The added benefit for your organisation is improved productivity and fewer sick days.

Ergonomic Assessment Sweeps Melbourne

Ergonomic assessment sweeps involve a brief ergonomic assessment of all workstations in a workplace or department. Ergonomic sweeps are preventative in nature and aimed at preventing injuries from occurring by ensuring your employees' workstations are set up ergonomically, thereby improve safety and comfort, as well as productivity. 

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.

Whilst the standard ergonomic assessment sweep is performed in an office setting, ergonomic sweeps are available for all types of workplaces and across all industries.

  • Appropriate changes to your employees' workstations on the day of the assessments.
  • Employee education, aimed at reducing any symptoms an employee is experiencing. 
  • 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).

Recently we have had Jordan from The Ergonomic Physio come out and do both ergonomic assessments for our admin team and manual handling training for all of our educators. Not only is Jordan professional, knowledgeable and thorough, he also came up with innovative ideas and solutions when working with our team, who have different manual handling needs, as they work with children and not in an office. Jordan then supported us with sourcing the best equipment to meet our needs. On top of all of this Jordan is also extremely friendly and personable. I couldn’t recommend him and The Ergonomic Physio highly enough
