Ergonomics is a term used to describe the interface between people and their environment including sensory, cognitive and physical functions used to engage in activity.
In the workplace, ergonomics is often referred to providing the optimal relationship between workplace furniture, seating and office equipment for maximal comfort and reduction in injury. Ergonomic principles can be applied to any workplace task whether it be office work, manual labour or heavy plant operation.
- Sitemed’s allied health staff will undertake a workplace assessment and provide recommendations to improve ergonomics to improve work comfort and productivity and minimise risk of injury.
- We are able to provide seating assessments for the workforce and make recommendations regarding procurement of appropriate furniture and plant.
Sitemed can also provide manual handling training to your workforce. Manual handling is any activity requiring the use of force exerted by a person to lift, lower, push, pull, carry or otherwise move, hold or restrain a person, animal or thing. Learn more about our manual handling training here.
