What are Workplace Assessments?
Workplace Assessments are an assessment of the employees working environment and the tasks that they carry out relative to their personal abilities.
Assessment Aims
The aim of a workplace assessment is to identify and analyse any risk factors which may be causing current or future health problems, or may be reducing work performance and then to advise and educate workers how to help stay healthy and comfortable in their workplace. It is also a legal requirement that employees are provided with a safe workplace.
Once risks are identified, actions can then be undertaken to either reduce or eliminate the risks as far as reasonably practicable.
Bespoke Assessments
Over the past 15 years of undertaking ergonomic assessments we have learnt that everyone can benefit from a consultation either virtually or face to face. We believe in taking a holistic approach, requiring a full understanding of an individual’s work, their working environment, behaviours and health in order to gain a complete picture. A workstation assessment should offer more than just educating on correct seat, monitor and desk heights. As Health Professionals we can tailor each assessment and the advice and education that we give, to an individual’s specific needs.
