:: Ergonomics Consulting
Individual Basic Office AssessmentsBasic assessments work very well in combination with Office Ergonomics Seminars, such as “Ergonomics for the Desk-Bound”. After your employees have been trained to know what contributes to injury and how to work properly to prevent it, they can get an individualized One-on-One set-up. An Anderson Ergonomics Consultant can go to their office and help them set up their workstation based on the ergonomic principles just learned in the seminar. This takes approximately 30 minutes per employee. Basic Office Assessments ensure that the employee has their workstation set up the best way possible and that the employee can work using the principles learned in the seminar. Any improvements we cannot make on-site will be identified in a mini report for the employee as well as a summary report for the Client Management, so they can easily implement the recommendations. Individual Enhanced Office AssessmentsOffice ergonomic assessments determine the risk factors and hazards that have the potential to cause discomfort and/or injury to the employee performing the job. The analysis provides the basis for recommendations to reduce or eliminate risk factors, minimizing injury to employees. Office ergonomic assessments look at an employee’s posture working in their computer environment as well as consider elements of lifting, filing, standing, etc. The “Perfect Workstation Set-up”

Return to Work AssessmentYou spend a lot of time and money training your employees to be effective and productive and it hurts your bottom line when they are injured.
