ERGONOMIC Assessment for the Work and Home Office

Never underestimate the importance of work set up.

You'll be surprised how changing the way you or your employees use the work space will improve productivity and comfort.

Correct sitting or standing posture, body alignment with the desk or work area, how to use the computer and mouse, keyboard, where to rest the arm, desk placement, foot support, etc., can greatly reduce pain and fatigue.

Problems relating to wrong set up can cause:

• Headache
• Jaw pain
• Arm and hand pain
• Tingling or aching sensations
• Back and neck pain
• Feeling of fatigue
• Muscle fatigue
• Pain in the buttocks and hips
• Development of sores in the buttocks, skin redness, rashes
• Constipation
• Stomach pain and difficult digestion

We provide:

• Individual work place assessment
• Evaluation and recommendations for the entire office space
• Staff education- Many times, it is not the work place that needs modification but staff habits and routine. We teach staff to improve their work pattern, providing stress relief techniques during micro breaks, applicable stretching exercises.

Worker's Injury

Work tasks at a factory assembly line, or long hours sitting at the computer, long hours driving, all cause some type of repetitive stress or another. Examples:

• Laboratory work involving looking down,
• Inspections or detailed tasks requiring eye focusing, squinting, bending, twisting, stepping up/down, climbing and bending motions.
• Problems worsen with pounding or drilling during construction,
• Working in cold or hot temperatures,
• Repeated lift and carry.
• Long distance driving or prolonged sitting places much pressure on the lower spine.
• Working at computer/ laptop, texting on mobile phones
• Working at monitoring stations

These tasks affect the whole body or specific muscle / joint groups and can cause discomfort, pain, injury, and debility in the long run.
