An ergonomic assessment, also referred to as a workstation assessment, analyzes a person’s workstation to ensure it is designed to minimize injury and maximize productivity. The assessments are conducted by occupational therapists and assess a number of key factors that can impact your ability to work comfortably. They look at:
- Physical work demand
- Posture
- Workstation design and the equipment being used
- Keyboard use
- Environmental factors such as lighting and noise
Recommendations are made to improve workstations to reduce stress and strain on workers, and make them more productive.
