WORKSTATION ASSESSMENT (WSA)

Workstation assessments delivered by chartered physiotherapists and ergonomic specialists

Your people’s work environment can impact on their comfort, safety and long-term health as much as the tasks themselves. Equipment, tools, furniture and lighting can all contribute to the development or exacerbation of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders.

Workstation assessments are legally required so that employers can reduce risk and maintain health and wellbeing. Our ergonomic workstation assessment solutions also help inform workers on steps they can take to improve their own situations.

IN PERSON AND REMOTE SERVICES

WSA assessment options

The workstation assessment can be conducted on your premises on a one-to-one basis with immediate feedback. Or, depending on the workplace environment, we can also carry out work style assessments via virtual platforms like Zoom or Teams.

Features

Educate employees

The workstation assessment is geared towards elevating awareness amongst your people. Afterwards, your workers will fully understand how to make any immediate or future adjustments to their individual workplace situation.

Prevent injuries

The WSA assessment flags up posture, pain and potential injury issues that could become long-term problems. And the workstation assessment report helps resolve these early by signposting to relevant services or specialists.

Empower managers

Your managers will learn how to advise workers, enabling them to reduce sickness and absenteeism arising from MSK conditions. And they’ll be safeguarding wellbeing and productivity while supporting health and safety measures
