ASSESSMENT SERVICES

Whether an assembly line, laboratory, field or office work environment, it goes without saying it’s crucial all workplaces are properly configured to reduce the risk of injury to employees.

To help identify where risk management interventions are required, a Workplace Assessment is recommended and usually required by law in most jurisdictions.

All Delta Ergonomic assessors use Delta’s secure in-house, Online Ergonomic Reporting tool which is programmed to contain specific pre-agreed instructions and intervention items based on organizational policy and availability as supported by your procurement and facility departments. External Procurement and Facility management services are available, catering for ergonomic equipment, furniture and installation of interventions such as keyboard tray and monitor arm installations, desk reconfiguration and desk height adjustments.

WORKSTATION ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENT

VIRTUAL ASSESSMENT

Virtual Assessments are provided for remote or home office Ergonomic/
Injury Management evaluation requirements where In-Person Assessors
are not available or cost prohibitive.

As effective as In-Person Assessments, reports are skillfully narrated
to assist employees make required changes to their workspace, work
habits, furniture and equipment. Phone and video support are utilized to
ensure all information is gathered and recommendations are understood
and enacted.

The process involves having your designated OHS or HR representative
contact one of Delta’s specifically assigned Ergonomic practitioners by
email, requesting their employee be contacted. (With employee copied
in on this same email).

Delta’s assigned Ergonomic Practitioner will then request the employee
provide Jpeg photos of their work environment & workstation whilst
performing work in their typical posture and using usual equipment

and furniture. The employee is also asked to complete an information
collection form containing questions regarding the employees condition/s,
work habits, symptoms etc. The employee then returns photos and
the information collection form by email. The ergonomist will review
this information and make further contact with the employee to clarify
information and/or ask further questions pertaining to their specific
circumstances.

The Ergonomist then completes Delta’s Online Ergonomist Assessment
Report which contains findings and corrective action recommendations.
This report is then emailed to the HR or OHS representative who
has requested the Assessment. Reports are usually forwarded to the
employee by the HR or OHS Representative when appropriate who
would coordinate intervention provisions with the employee and your
organisation’s procurement and facilities departments.

GROUP ASSESSMENT

Group Assessments usually entail an Ergonomic Assessor ‘walking
the floor’ providing a one-on-one tutoring and equipment/ furniture
adjustments for employees in an designated department or area.
Each employee is given approximately 10 minutes of time whereby
the Ergonomic Assessor provides individualized ergonomic advice

along with furniture and equipment adjustments. The employee’s name
is recorded and a list of any interventions recommended is then later
provided to the HR or OHS representative (in point form) via email.

HOME ASSESSMENT

Working from home is becoming increasingly popular in many
organisations to help promote work/ life balance, reduce emissions and
reduce real estate costs.

Home based ergonomic assessments are extremely beneficial in
reducing the highest risk an employer may have. Many employees do
not have the correct set-up at home and require direction regarding
chair and desk choice/ set-up, peripheral choice/ set-up/ usage and may
require ergonomic interventions.

Organizations in many jurisdictions have a legal responsibility to ensure
employees are not exposed to risk whilst working from home, just as
they would required to at the office. The difference is that the risk of
injury at home is by far greater than the organizations office due to the
absence of supervision and provision of properly prescribed furniture and equipment provision. Recommendations are sent back to the requesting HR or OHS representatives.

REMOTE ASSESSMENTS

Working from home is becoming increasingly popular in many
organisations to help promote work/ life balance, reduce emissions and
reduce real estate costs.

Home based ergonomic assessments are extremely beneficial in
reducing the highest risk an employer may have. Many employees do

not have the correct set-up at home and require direction regarding
chair and desk choice/ set-up, peripheral choice/ set-up/ usage and may
require ergonomic interventions.

FACILITY EVALUATION

Essential for facility planners to help optimise workstation layout,
furniture choice, lighting and other environmental requirements in any
given building.
