Office and home office ergonomic assessments & training

Level 1 “Sit-Safe” ergonomic training/workshop + roaming individual workstation desk check 10 minutess per worker (ergonomic audit)

Our basic level of ergonomic cover for organisations. This option is suited to larger groups of workers needing ergonomic advice. Our ‘Sit-Safe’ Ergonomic Training is completed onsite for groups of up to 25 workers per course. A registered Physiotherapist, Osteopath, Exercise Physiologist or Occupational Therapist will facilitate the training sessions that includes both theoretical and practical components, emphasizing the importance of postural awareness in the workplace, and teaching the basics of correct ergonomic setup (with a mock workstation) as well as common injuries and faults. This allows workers to return to their desks and correct the basics. We then spend the rest of the time available visiting each worker at their workstation to provide individual advice, making further ergonomic corrections and answering any questions they may have. This brief ergonomic workstation assessment will signal any high risk workers who require further follow up.

Ergonomic case example:

• Suitable for larger groups of workers (20+)
• ‘Sit-Safe’ Ergonomic Training provided for 45 minutes for all workers (we can also customise 30 and 60 minute sessions)
• 10 minutes spent with each worker giving basic advice on workplace ergonomics at their workstation and making additional changes
• 2 hour minimum booking
• No individual ergonomic assessment reports provided, however, a summarized list of changes still required / ergonomic accessories required for each worker will be provided to management

Level 2.  Simple office workstation ergonomic assessments 15 or 30 minutes per worker

15 minute ‘preventative’ ergonomic desk risk assessment

Typically, these workers are not experiencing any symptoms or injuries and the assessment aims to ensure that their ergonomic workstation is set up correctly to prevent injury.

Our 30 minute ergonomic assessments include all aspects that are covered within our 15 minutes, with more time allowed to assess and educate workers at their workstation who may have ongoing concerns.
