Address your ergonomics risks and protect your best asset. Remember also that prevention is always better than a cure. It's good for people and for business.
1. Workstation Assessments
This includes:
- Review and analysis of an individual workstation and abilities and limitations of the person using the workstation
- Recommendations on equipment, work area setup and correct working posture to minimise injury and discomfort, prevent injury and maximise productivity

2. Home Office Assessments
With the increase in telecommuting, Employers must recognise that the law defines an Employee’s home office area as their place of work and they must therefore ensure the area is a safe work environment. Conducting home office assessments is an effective way of ensuring that this requirement is satisfied and Employees do not injure themselves when working at home due to inadequately set up work areas.
The Home Office Assessment is limited to the Employee’s work area. It is not a risk assessment of the Employee’s house.

3. Office Furniture & Equipment Analysis
Address hazards related to office furniture & equipment before they cause an injury by reviewing equipment in use, and seek advice on office furniture & equipment purchases before making purchases. That way, you will get the most out of your equipment (and Employees who use it), prevent injuries and expensive workers' compensation claims, and prevent wastage of funds due to incorrect purchases being made.

4. Corporate Ergonomics Program
An Ergonomics program takes a systematic approach to preventing physical injuries in the workplace, while adopting a common sense strategy. We work with you to determine how you will address your ergonomics needs.

5. Scheduled Ergonomics Review
For those businesses who have identified that there is a need for ongoing review of workstations to effectively manage risk related to workstation-based work, but do not wish to devote the time and greater expense associated with a comprehensive program, this is a very efficient yet cost effective compromise. You decide when and how often this will occur.

6. Training & Education
We work with Clients to educate their Staff on Office Ergonomics and Safety. Whether it is induction of new Employees to ensure they are working at properly set-up work areas from the outset, or training for current Employees, we can help.
Our training programs are designed to be effective at achieving results and incorporate technical and practical training.
