Business Ergonomics Consultancy

Informal meeting over coffee

Our success in developing productive relationships with our customers is because they trust our advice and solutions which result in genuine, measurable, positive change.

Results/Goal/Objective Orientated Projects

Our ergonomists are highly qualified and very experienced in a variety of industry sectors. Many of our ergonomists are also trained physiotherapists thus providing additional value and practical clinical services.

We provide practical advice, training and longer term strategic planning at a budget and timescale that suits you. Solutions often involve changes to workplace design and equipment, manual handling training and risk awareness programmes, for example.

The following Assessments and Consultancy services are packaged to help you decide what you think your company needs. To give you an accurate quotation, we will ask key questions to determine the right service for you such as:

How many employees do you want us to assess? Size of your premises? What are the injuries or causes for concerns? What is your objective, scope and budget for change?

How can we help you?


However simple or complex the situation is, the ergonomist undertakes it with the same approach.

Conduct a detailed survey or assessment using relevant risk analysis tools.

Report on findings and identify wider issues for further study.

Recommend ergonomic interventions prioritised by "most gain"/"least cost".

Assist with implementation of changes either by the organisation itself or with additional input from engineers, designers, industrial hygienists, etc.

Help with ongoing trials and evaluation of effectiveness of improvements.
