Ergonomic Risk Assessments
Poorly set-up workstations, awkward postures, repetitive tasks and heavy lifting cause musculoskeletal injuries, fatigue and lost productivity. An ergonomic assessment identifies these risk factors, which may be physical, cognitive or organisational, and shows how to correct them. Strat Environment has been helping South African workplaces stay safe and compliant since 2017. You receive your full report within 14 days of the site visit.
Who needs it. The Ergonomics Regulations, 2019, published on 6 December 2019 under section 43 of the OHS Act, require employers to have a competent person carry out ergonomic risk assessments of all jobs that may pose an ergonomic risk, and to train employees.
