Workplace Ergonomic Assessments
Our physiotherapists, occupational therapists and exercise physiologists deliver tailored ergonomics training to groups or individuals across Australia, through face-to-face or telehealth sessions. Training aims to create a better match between your employees, the work they perform and the equipment they use. Based on sound ergonomic principles, we teach employees optimal positions in which to complete their work tasks.
Employees involved in lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying as part of their work are trained in correct manual task handling - focusing on correct postures, positioning and breathing. For office workers, we cover safe work postures, appropriate working angles of the upper limbs, sitting positions, viewing angles, optimal workstation layout and how to make basic ergonomic adjustments to workstations.
Our ergonomics education:
- Explores the duration of work, balancing the physical and mental demands of tasks, the importance of stretch breaks and regular posture variation.
- Examines ergonomics principles and how they apply to individual working arrangements such as hot desking. We always allow time for discussion on ergonomic issues specific to each workplace.
- Can cover the advantages, disadvantages and management of standing desks.
- Fosters an ergonomics ethos at all levels of an organisation.
