Ergonomic Assessments

Ergonomic assessments are also known as workstation assessments. They are specifically designed to ensure that an employee’s workstation is set up to minimise the risk of injury. By implementing basic ergonomic principles, many workplace injuries can be prevented.

Workstation Assessments for injured workers

If you have an injured worker who is ready to return to work, it is vital that you ensure their workstation is adjusted to minimise further discomfort.
