Some examples of our consultancy services are described below, or follow the links for full details of our ergonomics training courses.

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 not only ensure that clients comply with the law but also help 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.

Product design

From tape measures to aircraft seats, our product design ergonomics skills and experience have helped designers and manufacturers in many industries to create innovative and usable products.

Industrial & manufacturing

We work closely with industrial and production engineers to ensure that production processes are safe and efficient in a variety of industries from glassware and electronics to automotive and food processing.
