The human body was not designed to sit for extended periods of time or work in awkward positions that chronically contract or stretch muscles. Many of today's jobs now require people to perform such activities as they spend an increasing amount of there work day on computers and sitting behind desks. This is why a well-designed workstation and proper sitting postures are now essential in reducing and preventing potential problems and work-related injuries.

An ergonomic assessment involves analysing how the individual interacts with workstation, their job tasks/requirements and the products they are using. An assessment looks at the person and their working environment and the need to adjust and make recommendations regarding the employee's workstation.WCOTS now offers this service in a number of corporate settings. If you would like to maximise your, or your employee's productivity and ensure workplace wellbeing contact us for a work station assessment.
