What is involved in an Ergonomic Assessment?

Our Physiotherapists can visit your workplace to complete an Ergonomic assessment. We will observe your workstation set up and ask a few questions relating to your job. We may also make adjustments to your chair, desk, or monitor, and give advice regarding additional equipment that is available. We will then provide a detailed report including recommendations that we feel will improve your workplace. An assessment usually lasts approx. 20-30 minutes.

Do I need an Ergonomic Assessment?

We recommend those who spend 1+ hours per day using a computer to have an assessment, or if you suffer from back/neck pain, shoulder pain, repetitive strain injuries, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, all employees who work with a computer must have a workstation set up that is not a risk to their health and must be trained in the safe use of the workstation.
