Working From Home Ergonomic Assessment
Many workers are now working from home either in a part time or a full time capacity. Flexible working arrangements are becoming more common throughout organisations. It is important to ensure that the home office environment and workstation is assessed and set up ergonomically to suit all individuals working from home just as it is within the office.
With our ergonomic work from home assessments, we ensure that you and your employees know how to work with good posture, at a comfortable height with no awkward reaching, and with less motion. By taking an active step to ensure the health of your workers within their homes, it sends the message that you are a company who cares, and they are more likely to work harder for you.

Why Are Work From Home Ergonomics So Important?
Both at home and in the office, strong ergonomics can make all the difference in preventing musculoskeletal disorders that can be painful and have long-term effects. At Corporate Work Health Australia, we can educate you about how to create an ergonomic work from home setup to protect your health.
For companies who have employees who already have musculoskeletal complaints or injuries from the workplace, our work from home workstation assessments will make sure that those workers have their desk and chair set up correctly to ensure that these complaints are not aggravated in any way.
Ergonomic Assessment Working At Home
A working from home ergonomic assessment also makes sure that your employees have what is necessary to complete their work safely at home. We aim to reduce injuries in the workplace, and we take a comprehensive approach to provide the best level of care for you and your staff.
When staff work safely at home, they are more productive in their work. What’s more, should one of your employees suffer an injury as a result of a poorly set up workstation, they may then be off work, which can, in turn, cost your company a lot of money.
