    Overview - Ergonomic Risk Assessment Training

    For many employees there is a lot of time spent at their work station. There are a number of changes that that can be made to make life at work more comfortable for employees. Good ergonomics can make a tremendous difference to the quality of your employees’ day, which impacts the quality of their work and happiness. With the introduction of new ways of working with laptops, tablets, sit- stand desks, hot desks etc. there are many times that employees may be exposed to risk of muscular skeletal or repetitive strain injury. Poor lighting or noise in the workplace can cause employees to feel stressed out.

    Completing Ergonomic Risk Assessments can prevent employees having poor posture, and unhealthy working conditions that may result in more sick days, reduced productivity, increased risk of muscular skeletal injury due to postural misalignment or workplace induced stress. EcoOnline can assist your organisation in complying with DSE/ Ergonomic legislative requirements and improving the comfort and safety of your employees.
