At JMAC IT & Office Solutions we take Workplace Ergonomics seriously.
Why ergonomic assessment?
Employers have a responsibility to ensure Employees have a safe working environment whether in the office or at home. This is a requirement under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work act 2005.
Certain jobs or work conditions cause a higher rate of worker complaints of undue strain, localised fatigue, discomfort or back pain that does not go away after overnight rest. These jobs can mainly occur in the office environment, where it doesn’t appear that people are under strain from their work.
Ergonomic assessments allow for the recognition of the hazards, an evaluation of the overall risk and the recommendations to combat any risks with the following steps that we carry out:
1. The assessment on each person will take about 25 mins
2. We’ll go through all their work, explain where we want to get to, showing them pictures of the ideal working set up and assess all the work area in detail (educational element of the assessment).
3. A complete report on each person will be prepared and emailed in the days to follow as well as a copy of the assessments for your records.
4. We will follow up on any improvements needed and revisit if necessary/requested.
5. If you have any questions or would like to book an assessment, please call 064 66 26398 or email john@jmacos.ie.
