Once the assessment is complete, the ergonomist will guide you to make adjustments to your workstation including but not limited to the following: (1) chair, (2) keyboard, (3) monitor, (4) document position and (5) lighting and glare.

During your session, they will provide invaluable education to help you understand your body better.

On-site or Virtual Ergonomic Follow Up

Once your new equipment arrives, our ergonomist can return onsite or remotely to your office and help you optimize the set-up of your new products. One of the most important aspects of ergonomically sound office design is the positioning of your equipment and furniture to suit the space, your body and your specific tasks.

Poor positioning of ergonomically designed products is one of the most common errors that our ergonomists encounter in the workstations that they assess. For example, you may own the most ergonomically sound keyboard but if it is not placed appropriately, it can still lead to strain and injury.

Scheduling a follow-up session with our ergonomist is highly recommended as they will help to position your new products for you and will re-assess your work space to ensure that you have the most optimal workstation set up. This will also give you an opportunity to explain to the ergonomist how your body feels with the new changes that have been implemented and address any issues or concerns that may arise.

Ergonomic Education Webinars & In-Person Seminars

Designed for teams of all sizes, we offer interactive education webinars to give your teams the confidence to evaluate their own work environment and apply ergonomic principles to their work stations. This interactive webinar will cover a variety of topics and can be adjusted to suit the specific needs of your employees. Key topics include:

• Identifying healthy postures in the office
• Building awareness in order to identify common habits and poor postures at work
• Learning to use home furnishings and available office supplies to create an ergonomically sound workspace
• Reviewing healthy movements including strength and stretch breaks for the office

After the presentation, employees will feel confident in making general changes to their workstation and will have a greater understanding of injury prevention principles specifically relating to office workers.

Corporate Ergonomic Services

We also offer large scale workplace evaluations whether you are looking for consultation services to guide your office space build out or if you are looking for offering workspace evaluations to your entire team to support a preventative, health focused culture within your team.
