Ergonomic Checkout Walkabout

The Ergonomic Checkout Walkabout Assessment is a proactive, in-person service designed to assess the ergonomic setup of checkout areas and engage directly with employees to identify potential musculoskeletal (MSK) risks.

ERGONOMIC CHECKOUT WALKABOUT

This service is ideal for retail organisations committed to improving workplace health, safety, and comfort by addressing ergonomic concerns before they escalate into long-term issues.

By combining visual observation with employee feedback, the assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of both visible and reported ergonomic challenges—empowering teams to take meaningful action.
