I’m sure you’ll agree that prevention is better than cure. Still, you may be wondering what this has to do with ergonomics. You may be wondering what ergonomics is. Simply put, ergonomics is the science of making things efficient and its fair to say that we all want more efficiency in our busy lives!
The earlier the better – particularly if you have moved to a new office or workspace. An Ergo Specialist can help you to optimise your work space. Typically its not until we start feeling the first twinges of pain after a long day at work that we consider the impact our work setup is having on our health. It is at this point that many people will consider having an ergonomics assessment. However, with the timely intervention of an Ergonomist before discomfort occurs we can identify and negate potential issues. We can also ensure that any equipment you use for your role is reaching its full potential. If something is more comfortable you are far more likely to actually use it.
Yes! Ergonomic Specialists can advise and help you set up any environment. We do this by learning about what your role involves and what equipment you need to carry it out. We can work with you to minimise your injury risk and maximise your ability to be productive. Remember; one size does not fit all.
At Fit For Work, we offer online self evaluations or evaluations carried out by one of our Ergonomics Consultants – virtually or in person. Contact us to discuss the best fit for your current needs.
