Online Ergonomic Assessment

Online Workstation Assessment

Office Ergonomics

Office ergonomics don’t necessarily need to involve expensive ergonomic chairs, mouse, workstation products, tools or desks. Ergonomics in the office can usually combine an ergonomic assessment and set up and helpful preventative ergonomic advice.

It is often not what we are sitting upon or standing at, but rather how we hold our body or perform the tasks that cause a workplace injury.

Advice about correct trunk posture can improve your spine, head, and neck alignment, resulting in less fatigue when sitting at a desk for prolonged periods. Often a simple product will assist or remind you how to position yourself in your work or home environment.

The optimal posture is that which seeks to minimise overall demands on your body. It should be noted that all postures fatigue over time. Posture changes are essential. Thus, your physiotherapist will endeavour to optimise your home ergonomics to ensure you remain in an optimal though varied working posture throughout the day.

Why is Ergonomics Important?

Ergonomics is the study of how people fit in their work environment.

Ergonomic improvements are specific to the worker and their demands upon their body. The ergonomic needs of an office worker vary significantly from a manual job such as a labourer. An employee may be fit or physically capable of one occupation and not another. That’s the essential point, we’re all different shapes and sizes, and our workplace setup and practices can vary on an individual basis. This is where an ergonomic assessment for the individual worker is essential.
