They also assist employers to understand
the nature of their team's individual
workstation setups so they can make
informed decisions if ergonomic seating,
furniture or accessories are recommended.
We provide employers with a photographic
record of their team's workstation setup,
before and after ergonomic intervention.
This enables employers to evaluate the
outcome of ergonomic interventions and
provides employers with photographic
evidence, in the event of claim or litigation.
Workstation images assist our
assessors to develop an
understanding of the workspace and
plan the assessment to meet the
needs of each individual.

HOW WE COMPARE
15. 4
If your team works in the office as well as at
home, we're more than happy to assess both
workspaces. We also have the capacity to
conduct in-person assessments, depending
on your location and current COVID-19
restrictions.

Self assessment checklists lack objectivity
and are not backed by evidence. Our
assessors review your team's questionnaire
responses during the virtual assessment to
confirm their accuracy and are trained to
identify potential risks that are often missed.
We use HIPAA compliant, cloud based servers
and store our client's reports for the minimum
7 years required for compliance.
It's important to evaluate the efficacy of WHS
interventions. After their virtual assessments,
we'll survey your team to find out how they're
going with the changes we've recommended.
If a team member needs further assistance,
we'll keep you informed.
