Ergonomic Assessments Geelong 

---

Musculoskeletal injuries are the leading cause for days off from work in Australia, of which neck and low back pain are the two most common musculoskeletal complaints.

This is not only a problem for the employee in pain, it also creates disruption to work flow which reduces productivity for the business. This, combined with time lost due to medical appointments or days off work creates a financial cost that the company has to absorb.

Jobs that require workers to sit or stand for long periods of time are associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal injury. In particular, computer users have the highest incidence of neck pain among all workers. They are at risk of developing a variety of musculoskeletal strains and sprains due to awkward and prolonged sitting postures, poorly designed work stations and the need to perform repetitive tasks for long periods.

Geelong Office / Home Office Ergonomic Assessments

Ergonomic desk assessments in Geelong are designed to educate the worker on best practice ergonomics relating to their desk/workstation. Each employee has a one on one ergonomic consultation with our health professional regarding any concerns they may have with their work tasks or current pain/injury.
Each ergonomic desk assessment in Geelong will address correct set up of the chair, desk, monitor positioning and any ergonomic accessories. Changes may be made to improve the workers ergonomics and ensure their desk is set up properly to reduce the risk of workplace injury. Any hazards or risks identified during the ergonomic assessment are addressed and a report provided detailing the changes made and any recommendations made for each individual employee. This is the most common ergonomic assessment we conduct in Geelong and the surrounds (Bellerine Peninsula, Armstrong Creek, Geelong West and many more)
