Ergonomics

Ergosmart

 

It is the legal responsibility of the employer to provide workers with a safe workplace environment. Poorly designed work environments can directly cause injuries to staff such as neck pain, headaches, chronic lower back pain and RSI. These injuries lead to worker fatigue and error, absenteeism and costly Workers Compensation Claims.

Bodysmart’s Ergonomic Programs aim to significantly improve staff comfort and safety in the workplace while maximising efficiency and productivity. Bodysmart Ergonomic Services are available for clients in Perth CBD, Perth metro area and regional Western Australia.

Bodysmart is Perth’s premier Ergonomics Specialist Company. Our therapists are highly experienced and our philosophy extends much further than treating aches and pains. We aim to identify the source of the problem and eliminate risk factors, assisting to make long term changes to the workplace.

What is an Ergonomic Assessment?

An Ergonomic Assessment is traditionally conducted within the work environment. A Bodysmart staff member therefore will travel to the staff members work environment to conduct the assessment.
There are dangers to Workstation Assessments being performed in-house or by unqualified staff as they are usually administered inaccurately. This means staff are often given incorrect information and left with inappropriate adjustments. Ineffective equipment recommendations and advice can be costly and negate ergonomic initiatives.
Bodysmart has a range of qualified & experienced Physiotherapists & Occupational Therapists who are specialised in the field of ergonomics as well as musculoskeletal treatment. This means that our therapists are able to understand employee’s aches and pains & customise assessments and adjustments to reduce risk factors.
Bodysmart Ergonomic Assessments will involve:

  • Risk Identification – discussion of symptoms, tasks & identification of risk factors
  • Assessment - of work posture & equipment
  • Adjustment - of current equipment such as chair, keyboard, mouse & footrest
  • Action Plan - recommendations & equipment prescription. Consultants will try initially to use equipment available within the office environment to set the staff member optimally. If equipment is not available at the time of assessment, specific recommendations will be made on the report
  • Resources –information sheets & a stretch handout
  • Equipment Supply – source & supply quality equipment customised to your staff’s problems (if required)
  • Follow Up – re-assessment is optional but important for individuals who are suffering from a lot of pain or may be required for staff who acquire new equipment, especially chairs

Bodysmart has a range of options available for Ergonomic Assessments which vary in time frame between a 10 minute Quick Check and Adjust to a 1.5 hour thorough Ergonomic Assessment. Bodysmart is able to offer services to suit any company’s budget and safety requirements.
