Ergonomics Risk Assessments

Identifying and Managing Workplace Ergonomics Risks

Specialist Ergonomics assessments identify risks in your workplace environment. Depending on your business needs, I comprehensively review workstations, equipment, tools, work tasks and the working environment, providing detailed reports with prioritised recommendations tailored to your specific needs and budget.

Industries I Work With

My risk assessment expertise covers diverse workplace environments:

  • Manufacturing, industrial facilities and production lines

  • Office and administrative environments

  • Control rooms

  • Logistics and warehouse operations

  • Construction sites

  • Retail

What I Evaluate

  • Work Tasks - Physical demands, repetitive activities, manual handling requirements and cognitive load

  • Workstation Design - Working surface heights, seating arrangements, equipment positioning and workspace layout

  • Equipment and Tools - Suitability, condition and Ergonomic features of workplace equipment

  • Individual Needs - Employee-specific requirements, existing conditions and accommodation needs

  • Environmental Factors - Lighting, temperature, noise levels and spatial constraints

  • Workflow Analysis (if required) - Process efficiency, task sequencing and operational procedures

Risk Identification and Prioritisation

Ergonomics risks are identified using evidence-based evaluation methods and categorised by:

  • High Risk (Red) - Priority changes needed (urgent)

  • Medium Risk (Amber) - Improvements are recommended (important)

  • Low Risk (Green) - On track but enhancements may be suggested (beneficial)
