Our ergonomics assessments combine observation of work processes, interviews, surveys, recognised ergonomics analysis methods and, where justified, objective or indicative measurements. Methods are selected according to the work task and the intended outcome.
What we assess: Helps assess muscle tone, elasticity, stiffness and changes in functional state during or after work.
Examples of methods and equipment: Non-invasive myotonometry (Myoton 3) combined with observation of work tasks.
How the findings are used: Findings help identify heavily loaded muscle groups and support improvements to working techniques, workload or recovery arrangements.
What we assess: Suitable for jobs involving elevated physical demands, prolonged movement or intensive work cycles.
Examples of methods and equipment: Heart-rate monitoring (POLAR), blood-pressure measurements (OMRON), activity monitoring and, where justified, other indicative physiological measures.
How the findings are used: The data help characterise workload patterns, compare stages of work and identify improvements to work–rest schedules.
What we assess: Suitable for work requiring sustained grip, tool use, repetitive hand movements or precision tasks.
Examples of methods and equipment: Hand-grip dynamometry and pinch-strength assessment (Camry dynamometer and Baseline pinch gauge).
How the findings are used: Findings help compare functional load before and after work, identify signs of overload and support improvements to tools or working techniques.
What we assess: Provides an initial assessment of working-environment conditions that may affect comfort, attention, fatigue and performance.
Examples of methods and equipment: Indicative measurements of air movement, temperature, relative humidity, lighting, noise, CO₂ and particulate matter using Testo, FLUS, anemometers and air-quality meters.
How the findings are used: Findings help identify problematic areas and determine whether a detailed assessment or measurements by an accredited laboratory are required.
What we assess: Suitable where employees use vibrating tools or machinery or work near specific physical factors.
Examples of methods and equipment: Indicative vibration and electromagnetic-field screening using instruments appropriate to the task.
How the findings are used: Findings support initial risk identification and decisions on further specialist or accredited assessment.
The images show examples of equipment used. The availability of specific instruments and methods is confirmed before the service is delivered.
Tell us about the working environment, employee group or issue to be addressed. Following an initial assessment, we will recommend the most appropriate combination of methods and provide a tailored proposal.
