An ergonomic assessment is an assessment of a worker at their workstation to ensure correct working postures and workstation set-up.
A good ergonomic assessment is done to reduce a worker’s exposure to physical hazards such as:
- Uncomfortable postures
- Repetitive tasks
- Straining of the body
Ergonomic Assessments should be completed by fully qualified Professionals. At the end of an assessment, a formal report is then provided to the worker/employer outlining all findings and recommendations.
