Workplace & ergonomic occupational assessments in Totley & Hope

Poor workstation set-up and working practices can lead to pain, discomfort and lost productivity. At Activ Physiotherapy, we offer professional workplace and ergonomic assessments to help employees stay healthy, comfortable and effective at work.

We work with businesses and individuals across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire to identify potential risks and make practical recommendations. Our assessments cover workstation posture, chair and desk set-up, repetitive strain risk and overall working habits.

For employers, our service can reduce sickness absence, improve morale and demonstrate a commitment to staff wellbeing. For individuals, it can relieve existing pain and prevent further issues.

Workstation assessments

According to the Health and Safety Executive, every employer must protect its workers from health risks at work. This includes display screen equipment such as PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones. If these are used for more than an hour at work or in your own home, these regulations cover you.

How workstation assessments are carried out

Workstation assessment can be carried out in person or remotely using your phone camera. The physiotherapist looks at:

• The whole workstation including the equipment, furniture and working conditions.

• The job being done.

• Any unique requirements you may have due to injury or disability.

Whether you work from home or in a large office, our team can visit your workplace or advise you remotely. Contact us today to arrange an assessment and create a healthier work environment.
