Ergonomic Office Assessments

Our Ergonomic Office Assessments are designed to evaluate the overall office environment, rather than focusing on individual workstations. These assessments take a comprehensive look at how the workspace supports employee health, wellbeing, comfort, and productivity. We assess key environmental factors such as lighting, noise levels, and temperature, while also considering accessibility, inclusivity, and broader organisational influences on the working environment.

With a strong focus on creating a supportive and inclusive workspace, our Ergonomists assess how the overall office setup impacts employee wellbeing and productivity. By identifying environmental and organisational risk factors, we help employers address issues that may contribute to discomfort, reduced performance, or accessibility barriers. Ergonomic Office Assessments not only promote healthier working conditions but also support compliance with relevant health and safety standards, helping you create a more efficient and engaging work environment for all employees.

Assessment

Our Ergonomic Office Assessment involves a thorough walkthrough and evaluation of the entire office environment to determine how well it supports employee health, wellbeing, comfort, and productivity. Our specialists assess a range of environmental factors, including the quality and positioning of lighting, background noise levels, ventilation, and temperature control — all of which can impact focus and physical wellbeing. We also review the layout and flow of the workspace, paying close attention to accessibility and inclusivity for employees with varying needs and abilities. In addition, we consider organisational factors such as workstation arrangements, collaboration spaces, and movement patterns to identify areas that may benefit from ergonomic or structural improvements.

Report Writing

Following the assessment, our ergonomist compiles a comprehensive report outlining key findings and practical recommendations tailored to your workplace. The report highlights any identified risks or barriers to comfort, wellbeing, and productivity – ranging from environmental concerns like lighting or temperature, to layout and accessibility issues. Each recommendation is clearly explained and prioritised, making it easier for employers to implement meaningful changes.
