Ergonomic Assessment Sweep Canberra

Office ergonomic assessment sweeps are brief proactive / preventative ergonomic assessments 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 assessment 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.

If you have a large number of employees, another cost-effective option to consider is our Office Ergonomics Training, which you can read more about below.
​

  • A 15 minute ergonomic assessment of each workstation within your workplace, conducted by a qualified and experienced Physiotherapist who specialises in workplace ergonomics.
  • 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
