Workplace Workstation Assessments
We now offer a complete workstation assessment where we come to your workplace to see how staff work at their desks/stations relating to potential pain or injuries.
Workstation Assessments in Hawke's Bay are becoming more popular due to the many different job roles throughout the region. These aren't only for those who sit in offices, people who work in retail, in classrooms, or in fields could all require one, as no workstation assessment is the same!
We will begin by with a quick questionnaire relating to work and injury history to gather more insight on your worker.
We will then ask them to sit and work at their workstation for a physical assessment to see how they work.
We will use this information and compare it to our checklist to create a report which includes; an action plan, a copy of your report (if requested), as well as a copy of 'Computer Tips/Tricks', and an ACC 'Stretches for the office' poster.
If you require workstation assessments in Hawke's Bay- no office is too hard! Reach out today.

Why Workstation Assessments?
Sitting for long periods of time has been associated with obesity, heart disease, and poor circulation. Sitting down for more than 6 hours a day increases risk of death to 40%.
When sitting your spine absorbs 150% of its body weight!
These are not only for people who work in offices, these can be tailored to suit warehouses, laboratories, schools, factories etc. These are for anyone who has a workstation.
Stretching and moving often increases mood, boosts productivity and reduces leave.
Incorrectly set up workstations can increase discomfort, pain and management (DPI)- not only in the workplace but outside of work also.
Workstation Assessments also improves overall wellness for your workers and ensures less absences.
Workstation Assessments in Hawke's Bay are important as we can use this data to collate whether DPI can be minimised, or reduced with the correct set up.
