How An Ergonomic Assessment Works
At Insight Ergonomics, our assessments provide an independent, expert review of your working environment to help identify the causes of discomfort and improve your overall wellbeing at work.
During your virtual or face-to-face appointment, our assessor will look at your individual needs, current workstation setup, and daily working habits. This helps us understand what may be contributing to pain, discomfort, or reduced productivity.
In many cases, issues can be improved through simple changes to posture, workstation adjustments, or different ways of working, without the need for additional equipment.
Where equipment is recommended, this is based on clinical need and tailored to your specific circumstances.
Our assessments can support people working at desks, from home, in vehicles, or in a wide range of workplace environments, helping create a safer, healthier, and more comfortable way to work.

An ergonomic workplace assessment helps identify the factors that may be contributing to discomfort, poor posture, fatigue, or musculoskeletal strain at work.
Following the assessment, practical recommendations may include workstation adjustments, changes to working practices, posture guidance, or advice on movement and regular breaks. Where appropriate, ergonomic equipment may also be recommended based on individual need.
For employers, ergonomic assessments can support health and safety responsibilities, help reduce avoidable workplace discomfort, and create a healthier working environment for staff.
For employees, they provide personalised support designed to improve comfort, wellbeing, and the ability to work safely and effectively.

What are 5 examples of ergonomic issues in the workplace?
Ergonomic issues can arise from how work is designed, set up, or carried out. Common examples include:
Poor workstation layout
Incorrect positioning of screens, keyboards, or equipment can lead to awkward posture and strain on the neck, shoulders, and wrists.
Unsuitable seating or desk setup
Incorrect chair or desk height can affect posture and contribute to discomfort in the back, shoulders, and hips.
Repetitive tasks
Repetitive movements such as typing or scanning without variation or breaks can increase the risk of strain and overuse injuries.
Manual handling activities
Lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling without appropriate technique or support can place strain on the body.
Vehicle or mobile working environments
Extended driving, vibration exposure, or poorly adjusted seating in vehicles can contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort.
Are ergonomic assessments a legal requirement?
Employers have a legal duty under UK health and safety legislation to ensure that employees are working in a safe environment, which includes assessing workplace risks where appropriate.
For employees who regularly use display screen equipment (DSE), employers are expected to consider workstation assessments as part of their wider health and safety responsibilities.
While specialist ergonomic assessments are not always a specific legal requirement, they are widely recognised as a proactive way to support compliance, reduce workplace discomfort, and promote employee wellbeing.
If you would like guidance on compliance or arranging assessments for your organisation, our team can help advise on the most appropriate approach.
