Online home office ergonomic assessments that prevent musculoskeletal injuries, reduce fatigue and improve productivity for remote and work-from-home employees.
As an employer, you’re obligated to ensure that employees working out of the office have a safe and suitable work environment. KINNECT offers Home Office Ergonomic Assessment services that can be conducted easily via video conference, making a significant difference to employees’ comfort and health.
How it works
Online Survey
Each employee completes an online working from home checklist which captures important information regarding the employees workstation setup, safety and equipment. Photographs of the workstation are also submitted. This information is then reviewed by one of our Allied Health Consultants (Occupational Therapist, Accredited Exercise Physiologist or Physiotherapist) prior to the video conference occurring.
Video Assessment with Allied Health Consultant
Employees will undergo an assessment of their home workstation via video conference with an Allied Health Consultant. During the evaluation, the consultant will provide the employee with practical advice on how to set up their workstation correctly and discuss strategies to reduce the risk of developing an ergonomic-related injury whilst working from home. The worker will be provided with a summary report in addition to handouts on best practice ergonomics and stretches.
Report
Following the video assessment, you will receive a summary report that provides a record stating that the employee’s working-from-home environment has been audited and an ergonomic assessment has been completed. The report will also detail any recommendations for additional ergonomic equipment that you may consider purchasing for the employee while working from home.
