Ergonomics & work station assessment
Ergonomic assessments by the Physiomed Practice are performed in your offices, and each user of a workstation is assessed individually. The ergonomic review initially establishes whether the workstation user is sitting at their desk in a way that might cause problems. Then through a process of discussion, training and adjustment, suggestions are made to improve the ergonomic use of desk equipment, including the desk itself, chairs, PC screens, keyboards and mouse, and any other equipment that is used day today. In this way potential stresses on workers are reduced, allowing them to be more comfortable in their work.
