Our Workstation Assessments address ...
- Posture. Our assessors will evaluate your user's posture to help improve their general well being and comfort levels.
- Chair. Guidance will be offered to the user showing how their chair should be adjusted to suit their personal requirements.
- Monitor (Display Screen). Our assessors will recommend correct height, distance and viewing angle of the monitor whilst exploring the users' views on text size, contrast, brightness, readability, glare and flicker etc.
- Keyboard. Bad keyboard use may lead to ailments of the wrist and hand. Our assessors will advise on good keyboard practise including position, tilt and readability etc.
- Mouse. Incorrect mouse use can lead to hand, wrist and forearm complaints. Our assessors recommend ways for improved mouse use, if required.
- Software. Poor software or inadequate software training can lead to user frustration and/or increased stress in the workplace. Your users will be questioned to ensure they are happy with the software they are using.
- Furniture. We often find that the user's workspace can be inundated with unnecessary clutter that does not aid their ability to complete their work place tasks. Furthermore, cable trip hazards can lead to serious consequences for both you and your staff. Our assessor will explore the workstation layout and recommend improvements to help reduce hazards and increase efficiency.
- Environment. On our many assessments we have discovered that heating and lighting, glare and noise can be contentious issues and difficult to solve with so many differing staff needs and opinions. Our assessors will do their best to recommend strategies to the relevant personnel on how to tackle this problem.
- General items. Your user will be asked if there are any issues not covered by the assessment for example, existing aches and pains (MSD, RSI, ULD etc), regular breaks, eyesight, home working or hot desking. Our assessors will make recommendations on what the employer can best do to address these issues.
