How to improve the risk management of workplace ergonomics for both the office and the home
Over the last 12 months we have seen more and more organisations contract corporate work health australia to deliver the workstation ergonomic train the assessor courses within their organisation so that key workers can be trained up in delivering basic workstation ergonomic risk assessment courses. The most common workers typically attending these workshops include HR, people and culture, IT, facilities and OHS/WHS staff.
Benefits of training
The benefits of training key workers within the organisation in workplace ergonomics include:
- Have new starters assessed and set up at their workstation upon commencement
- Have workers who have relocated workstations or acquired new equipment assessed and trained in how to utilise the various ergonomic equipment aids
- Have workers with minor niggles and aches reviewed and triaged rapidly so that these issues dont progress further for both the individual and the organisation
- Allow the business to plan and organise their risk management system with regards to office and home office workstation ergonomics
- Allow the business to develop and plan a system that allows them to manage requests for new equipment such as sit stand desks and chairs etc
