Workplace Ergonomics
Prevent physical discomfort at work
Ergonomics plays a vital role in preventing workplace injuries and enhancing both wellbeing and efficiency. By adapting equipment, workspace design, and routines to suit your employees’ needs, you reduce physical strain. Varying working postures and using ergonomic aids – such as height-adjustable desks, properly designed chairs, and optimal screen placement – lower the risk of pain in the back, shoulders, and neck. Adopting sound ergonomic habits further benefits the working environment by reducing sick days and increasing job satisfaction. By prioritising ergonomics in the workplace, you demonstrate a commitment to your employees’ health and foster a more productive, engaging working life for everyone.

What is workplace ergonomics
Workplace ergonomics is all about organising and adjusting your work to minimise strain on the body. Heavy lifting, twisting movements, repetitive tasks, and poor workspace design have a significant impact on your physical wellbeing. Joint and muscle pain, back injuries, and headaches are direct consequences of poor ergonomic layout, bad work habits, or lack of suitable aids. Poor ergonomic working conditions can be found on construction sites, where awkward objects need moving, in hospitals, where a patient may make a sudden movement causing strain to the back and body, or at the sedentary office desk.
