Ergonomics

Applying ergonomics to your business will

• Improve productivity and quality
• Reduce sickness
• Cut compensation claims
• Save costly mistakes in equipment purchase.

We use our knowledge of human capabilities to optimise equipment and working conditions in offices, shops, factories and other environments.

We offer training courses in industrial ergonomics, dse assessment and manual handling.

Some examples of our most popular ergonomics consultancy services are described below:

Office Workplaces

Office design is under pressure, with high rents and changing work patterns encouraging our clients to explore new styles of office layout eg hot desking. Our ergonomics approach aims to make the office an effective environment for productive, satisfying and comfortable work.

New Equipment Selection

Technology moves quickly with new products apparently offering amazing benefits. We help clients ensure that their investment in laptops, tablet PCs and other equipment is cost effective and that the new equipment meets appropriate standards and is usable in the working environment.

DSE Assessments

Good ergonomics for Display Screen Equipment (DSE) users is a legal requirement throughout Europe. Our assessments by qualified ergonomists ensure that clients comply with the law and improve user comfort and productivity.

Accessibility and DDA Audits

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requires employers to make reasonable adjustments for staff with disabilities. Our qualified accessibility consultants can advise on what is reasonable and cost effective for staff and for employer.

Retail Ergonomics

Customers demand good service and this in turn means that staff need comfortable and efficient checkouts and equipment. Our twenty years of experience in retail ergonomics helps clients deal with the changing legal and ergonomic requirements.
