Workplace and workstation Assessments

Our workplace assessments are specialised on-site assessments of an employee's duties and responsibilities. Our assessments help individuals and their employers resolve problems identified as causing or exacerbating a workplace injury or illness. Our Occupational Therapists will recommend preventative actions, such as safety risk assessments, ergonomic assessment or training. A workplace assessment is also a useful tool for upgrading medical certificates or sourcing suitable duties. It can be used to compliment occupational rehabilitation, or itself may substitute for a treatment program. Employers can also use the assessment to ensure the workplace is equipped for new workers, people with disabilities or those with specific needs.

Access audits

We can provide access audits which adhere to the DisabilityDiscrimination Act 1995 and assess an individual's premises in relation to its safety and accessibility. From here our Occupational Therapists can recommend adaptations to improve on both these aspects.

Assessments
