Ergonomic Assessments

Ergonomic Assessments and Training 

Our team of highly skilled experts can undertake detailed ergonomic assessments and provide training to ensure your business is a safe and healthy workplace for staff. 

What are Ergonomics? 

Ergonomics requires an understanding of the work environment to design and arrange a set-up optimal for human use. This includes safe work in both white and blue-collar environments.

Our ergonomic assessments ensure an appropriate interaction between employees and their workspace. This involves assessing seating arrangements as well as daily behaviours such as how often they stand, the equipment they use (computers, accessories, keyboards and machinery), and their posture throughout the workplace.

Our team applies principles from numerous disciplines such as physiology, biomechanics, anthropometrics, psychology, and industrial design.
