WORK DESIGN

Atlas Physio is happy to provide information, training, instruction and support for businesses and workers to improve the Work Design of their workplaces, workspaces, and work duties. Work Design is the organisation of work tasks, working environments, and business resources to create systems of work that support worker health, wellbeing, and sustainable participation as well as business running. Good Work Design can minimise risk, improve productivity, and maximise the effectiveness of a business' workforce, work processes, and overall performance. 

​

Considering Work Design gives businesses the opportunity to embed Occupational Health and Safety practice in the structure of the business itself, translating organisational objectives, industry-specific and general legislation, or best practice into worked procedures that support the efficiency, productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability of a business. Work Design engages with OHS as well as business' other goals and policies, and support the sustainability, effectiveness, and continuity of a business' operations.

It is important that work assessment and design are delivered by competent, qualified, and appropriately accredited professionals with expertise regarding risk management, ergonomics, and industry-specific hazards. This ensures that programs are accurate, comprehensive, and fit for purpose to meet business demands, reducing the risk of superficiality and minimising vulnerability. Poorly designed work systems increase physical and mental injury risks. Well‑designed tasks and environments reduce exposure to hazards, support worker wellbeing and improve performance.

​

Good Work Design requires the combined and collaborative expertise of a business' staff and management as well as the input of appropriately qualified, accredited, and certified professionals with an understanding of ergonomics, legislation, and safety. This ensures that Work Design is not superficial but constitutive, balancing productivity with the health and wellbeing of employees. 

​

Businesses are legally obliged to to consider Work Design. Occupational Health and Safety legislation requires employers to provide safe systems of work, and Work Design is a practical means of fulfilling this duty. Embedding Work Design into operations positions businesses to meet legal and corporate obligations.
