Ergonomics

Manage risk, protect the people in your organisation and enhance your business.

How we work

We apply ergonomic and best practice principles to ensure there is a fit between the person, the task/work being performed, the environment they are working in, and the equipment/products being used, to maximise productivity and performance and prevent injuries and ill health.

We pride ourselves on being a friendly, honest and hard-working team, and this is reflected in our long-term client relationships. Our ergonomists are highly qualified, chartered practitioners and bring a wealth of experience to their work. Our flexibility means you can engage our consultants for a one-off project, a one-to-one assessment, or to provide regular, ongoing ergonomics support.

We offer a range of ergonomics services within a range of sectors including professional services, banking, retail, pharmaceutical, luxury brand and product, and industrial sectors. We also work one-to-one with employees who have complex health or musculoskeletal conditions.

What we do

Office, home and hybrid worker DSE assessments

Our display screen equipment (DSE) ergonomics assessments help your employees adopt good ergonomic practices while at work. We provide a range of solutions for DSE assessments, including online or face-to-face assessments with one of our specialist assessors, e-learning and self-assessment solutions via our customisable app.

We conduct office workstation design and equipment appraisals to help you deliver the best possible workplace solutions. We evaluate against ergonomic standards, workplace designs and plans, prototypes and mock-ups, as well as real life physical

Retail and banking ergonomics

We help you optimise efficiency to support your employees’ comfort and productivity, and to help improve their overall experience. We carry out individual assessments as well as design appraisals for store layout, equipment and furniture to ensure compliancy with relevant legislation, and help optimise safety, comfort, and efficiency for the broadest diversity of staff and customers.

Industrial ergonomics

Our industrial ergonomics services include ergonomics and manual handling risk assessments of industrial workstations and tasks to identify and reduce ergonomic risks such as awkward postures, repetitive actions and excessive forces.

We also deliver workload assessments and job rotation advice, and provide expert guidance on the design of industrial workstations, shift patterns and environments.

Vehicle ergonomics

We help you support the wellbeing and comfort of your drivers by working with you to select the most appropriate fleet and lease vehicles.

We also carry out individual vehicle assessments for employees who report musculoskeletal discomfort associated with driving. Our body and risk assessment checklist covers in-vehicle layout and positioning, mobile working and work scheduling.

Consumer product and service design and testing

We support clients throughout their product or service design journey, aiming to be involved from the very start and adopt an iterative approach to enhance the customer experience and product usability. We apply ergonomics, usability and accessibility principles, as well as our experience of human behaviour to improve services and products by reviewing designs, products, prototypes and/or mock-ups.

We carry out invaluable ergonomics user testing to evaluate how a product or service prototype/mock-up will perform in the required context of use and typical environmental conditions to help you identify ergonomics, usability and accessibility issues early on, and work with you to develop feasible recommendations within your required budget and timeframes. We’ve tested a wide range of products including virtual reality headsets, banking ATM machines, cordless vacuum cleaners and mobile phones.

Ergonomics training

We deliver a range of ergonomics training courses, including:

CIEH accredited Assessing Display Screen Equipment (DSE) - providing an understanding of relevant legislation, supporting standards and best practice, and tips on practical ways to conduct assessments and rectify areas of concern.
Industrial ergonomics - our training emphasises hands-on problem-solving methodologies to recognise, evaluate, and control ergonomics risk.
Manual handling

We also deliver workshops and webinars on topics including posture, back care, workstation set-up and an introduction to ergonomics. We aim to raise awareness, educate employees, and help you meet your commitments to support employee wellbeing.
