This office ergonomics workshop focuses on the symptoms and causes of cumulative trauma and how to reduce aches and pains by making several simple changes to your existing workstation. Photographs are used as case studies to demonstrate common problems and solutions.

We have found that most people can fix most of their own ergonomic problems after this workshop, but for those who get stuck, we provide 20-30-minute 1:1 Screens after the workshop for fine-tuning (see below).  And, our Office Ergonomics Manual is the perfect reference after our workshop for independent problem-solving.

Often we see a variety of types of equipment in an office, most of it lacking legitimate beneficial ergonomic features.  We will help you develop purchasing guidelines for office equipment with ergonomic criteria at the minimum and standardized choices at the maximum.

We can also take this one step further by overseeing the creation of an on-site “ergonomic lab” so employees can test drive different types of equipment over the course of their career.

This dove-tails well with the Train the Evaluator: Office Ergonomics Screens© course, as your in-house specialist can then use the established guidelines with confidence when making recommendations.  Annual updates may be necessary.

Outside consultants for more complicated employee ergonomic issues would use the selected equipment in the purchasing guidelines if appropriate, and only go outside those guidelines when clinically required.

We do not want you to purchase the wrong equipment and waste money retrofitting later! Allow us to consult with your design team and architects for more ergonomically friendly office spaces for new construction or remodel.
