Ergonomic Assessment
The purpose of an ergonomic assessment is to evaluate the interaction between individuals and their work environment to identify and mitigate potential risk factors that could lead to discomfort, injury, or reduced productivity. Ergonomic assessments aim to optimise the design of workstations, equipment, tools, and tasks to ensure they are well-suited to the needs and capabilities of the workers. By addressing ergonomic concerns, such as awkward postures, repetitive motions, excessive force, or inadequate workstation setups, the assessment helps to enhance overall comfort, safety, and efficiency in the workplace. Ultimately, the goal is to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, improve employee well-being, and optimise performance.
