Ergonomic Assessments in Perth CBD

Ergonomic assessments, also referred to as workstation assessments, ensure that an employee’s workstation is ergonomically designed to minimise the risk of injury and maximise productivity. At Central City Physiotherapy, we’re proud to offer ergonomic assessments to help improve your health at work.

How We Help

Our experienced ergonomics trained physiotherapists come to you, assess and correct each workstation to suit the individual and the type of work undertaken. Nothing is overlooked, as each person will need a personalised set up depending on their height, body type, handedness and especially the type of work they do.

We look at the following equipment and make adjustments to fit each employee, including:

• Seat type and height
• Footrest options
• The computer and screen
• Keyboard and mouse
• The phone position

 
We’ll also examine other factors including desk position, windows, filing systems, shelves, and more.

An ergonomic assessment with our team includes:

• Detailed observations and questioning about past injuries, aches, pain or other symptoms as well as the daily duties for each person.
• Changes are made on the spot where possible using what is available in the office.
• Recommendations on buying other tools or equipment are made if deemed necessary.
• A report is sent to the employee and employer detailing the assessment, any changes made (for ease of employee replication later on), and any other relevant advice or recommendations.

 
The time spent with each employee may vary according to their individual situation and how many work spaces they regularly use.
