Posture, work layout

We train groups in all numbers in basic workstation and workplace assessment; posture, exercise; furniture selection; safety; hazard identification; manual handling; strain avoidance; legal compliance. Training requires a pre-visit by us to see what you do (we also take photos of your workplace to use later in the presentations), and illustrated notes are issued to every participant. Group training is often a useful preliminary to individual workplace assessments.

Who is it for?

ANYONE interested in making their workplace safe, compliant and productive. Especially people who get tired or sore at work.

The training will equip you to examine your furniture and seating (its suitability, condition and adjustment); workplace postures (ie, whether the layout allows appropriate and comfortable work positions); exposure to strain injury (lifting, reaching, posture, repetitive work); lighting (both natural and artificial); your screen, keyboard and computer-related equipment; access, workplace spacing, layout of workgroups; if relevant, temperature, climatic variables, noise (whether as a “distractor" or as a health-related issue); work surfaces (colours, saturations); general exposure to hazards ( eg. slips, trips; manual handling; use of plant and equipment; and storage - its suitability for purpose; access; manual handling.
