Atlas Physio is happy to provide and undertake Ergonomic Assessments for businesses and for individual workers. While ergonomics may be simply understood as the arrangement of desks, chairs, or the working environment more generally, comprehensive ergonomic assessment considers the task being undertaken, the nature and variance of work, and the characteristics of workers doing that work. On the individual level, ergonomic assessment fits the work to the worker. On the broad level, ergonomic assessment allows workplaces to design work to operate smoothly, sustainably, and successfuly. 

​

Undertaking Ergonomic Assessment and developing ergonomic interventions gives businesses the opportunity to balance the demands of work with the capacity of the workforce, ensuring sustainability and safety. Poorly designed work environments contribute to musculoskeletal disorders, fatigue, and long‑term injuries. By contrast, ergonomic interventions—such as adjusting workstation height, redesigning workflows, or introducing supportive equipment—reduce strain and promote wellbeing.

​

By aligning human capacity with occupational demand, businesses can reduce inefficiencies, prevent injuries, and foster long‑term productivity. A well‑designed ergonomic environment not only enhances comfort but also supports competitiveness and continuity, ensuring that businesses thrive while workers remain engaged and capable.

​

Ergonomics is a multidisciplinary field that requires expertise in anatomy, physiology, occupational health, and workplace design. Qualified professionals bring the ability to identify subtle risks, recommend evidence‑based interventions, and translate best practice into workable procedures. Without this expertise, businesses risk implementing superficial or ineffective changes that fail to address underlying hazards.

​

Employers are required to provide safe systems of work, and failure to consider ergonomics can expose businesses to liability, penalties, and reputational damage. Undertaking ergonomic assessments demonstrates compliance with the law while reinforcing a commitment to worker safety and corporate responsibility.
