Workplace Ergonomic Assessment

Osteopathy Works Ltd offers an on site Workplace Ergonomic Assessment service.  The assessment examines your work environment and the way you work in it, which determines how your work affects you physically.  One of the most common causes of staff absence is back pain, and often this is caused by poor posture and poor office seating.

Do you have…

• Headaches?
• Back pain?
• Arm, shoulder or neck pain?
• Tingling, numbness or pins and needles in your hands?
• Poor posture at work?
• Unreasonable fatique?
• Pain symptoms that are suspected to be work related?

Often simple adjustments to the workstation layout can help postural problems, and where necessary we can recommend products such as document holders, laptop risers, wrist rests, through to chairs and height adjustable desks to ensure that your staff are working correctly at their workstations.

As a client you will have ample opportunity to explain and demonstrate your problems and difficulties and some immediate advice and guidance will be provided.  The assessment visit is followed by a report that includes information on any changes that might be needed and details of the advice given.

By providing quality assessments, advice and training in your workplace we will help you to…

• Reduce work-related injuries and ill-health
• Improve efficiency, productivity and morale
• Reduce absenteeism and staff turnover
• Avoid costly mistakes in equipment purchases

Cost: $185 + GST per hour.  This includes travel time to the local Dunedin area and a written report outlining recommendations.
