Work Station Ergonomics Program Services

Group Ergonomic Training

With a maximum group size of 15 to allow for group participation and discussion, this program will take your employees through all the key principles to achieve correct workstation ergonomics. Rather then simply focussing on what needs to be done to achieve this, the Workwell program emphasises why these principles are so important, improving the likelihood of compliance and behavioural change.

An appropriate exercise program tailored to the specific tasks at hand will also be implemented that staff can easily complete throughout their work day. This is a comprehensive program proven to assist in the reduction of workplace discomfort, strains and sprains, leading to a healthier, happier and more productive workforce.

Individual Ergonomic Assessments

We recognise that certain employees may benefit and indeed require a more individual based approach to the ergonomic assessment/training process and we can accommodate these workers accordingly. Whether it is significant recent discomfort, pre-existing medical conditions or a past history of musculoskeletal disorders, Workwell’s accredited occupational physiotherapists can provide expert advice and injury prevention strategies to suit your employees’ individual requirements.

Training of Site Leaders/Internal Ergonomic Assessors

Along with our group and individual ergonomic assessments and training, Workwell can offer further detailed training to key staff members, providing them with the knowledge and skills to conduct ergonomic workstation assessments independently. An extension of our group ergonomic training sessions, this program includes further practical demonstrations, supervised practice and advanced training on dealing with non-routine assessments.

Providing team leaders and key staff members with the skills to perform assessments independently helps to ensure ongoing adherence to the key ergonomic workstation principles, further decreasing the likelihood of discomfort or injury occurring.
