No two people are the same. For instance, the way one person sits at their desk may not be comfortable for someone else which is where ergonomics comes in. It is the process of making the job fit the person, rather than the person fit into the job. Physical requirements, tools used, and other equipment needed to complete a task need to be just right so the employee is comfortable and can do their job effectively. Poor worksite design can lead to stressed, frustrated staff and even injury, such as back pain, stiff neck, and migraines. These are some of the leading causes of staff absence, so it’s vital you make sure your ergonomics are sufficient to prevent avoidable injuries in the workplace.
How we can help
Our occupational hygiene consultants can carry out an ergonomic assessment in your workplace to identify any issues. We will identify the hazards associated with the activity carried out by your employees and evaluate the risk to your staff. We will be able to inform you of the potential impact on your team and provide your company with a proposal to reduce or mitigate the hazards. We can also offer on onsite employee awareness training so that your staff know about things like posture and chair positions at work.
Let us help you to assess the risk to your employees – get in touch today for more information on how we can help with ergonomics.
Testimonials
SACO
We have been dealing with EEUK for around two years – we currently use them for our Exposure Monitoring and have found the onsite engineers have an excellent understanding of what we require. They also work around us, so there is as little disruption to production and staff as possible. Whatever we need, even at short notice, EEUK are there to help as quickly as possible.
Health and Safety Manager
Venator
Historically, we have had LEV monitoring done by EEUK, but this was before I joined the company. Since I have been in this role, I have engaged EEUK to do fibre count monitoring on a kiln and we are planning a noise survey too. I have already received the RAMS pack for this job to review prior to the survey which is fabulous, I normally spend a large proportion of time when working with contractors trying to get this information.
EHS Officer
Greencore Group
We have had a long relationship with EEUK due to the quality of the reports that I receive after a visit from EEUK consultants. There is always a very easy to digest summary, but still lots of detail. Another reason is their friendly approach – we have built up a personal relationship, which means that managing the work is made so much easier.
