What is a Workplace Assessment?
A Workplace Assessment is an evaluation of an employee’s working environment to ensure it is safe, comfortable, and supports their health and well-being. These assessments help identify potential risks, prevent workplace injuries, and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
Our occupational health professionals conduct ergonomic, workstation (DSE), manual handling, and role-specific assessments to address issues such as musculoskeletal strain, posture, and workplace hazards. We also provide recommendations for adjustments to improve employee comfort and productivity. During a workplace assessment, our staff assesses the ability of an employee to undertake his/ her duties within their specific workplace.
The assessor will make recommendations as to any adjustments required at the workplace to enable the employee to carry out his/her role.
