Ergonomic Assessments

An ergonomic risk assessment aims to assess, identify and eliminate hazards and risks associated with the ergonomics of an individual’s workstation. The assessment looks at the individual’s workstation set up, their job requirements and their anthropometrics. With this information, the assessor (Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, and Exercise Physiologist) is able to implement control measures (e.g. functional education and/or equipment) to promote safe working postures according to ergonomic principles.
