Ergonomic Assessments

Ergonomic assessments go beyond standard DSE requirements to look at how people interact with their entire working environment. They are designed to reduce discomfort, prevent musculoskeletal issues, and support safe, sustainable working practices.


At Insight Ergonomics, our ergonomic assessments are practical, personalised, and focused on real-world solutions that improve comfort, performance, and long-term health.

What Is an Ergonomic Assessment?

An ergonomic assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a person’s workstation or working environment. It considers posture, movement, equipment, task demands, and working habits to identify risks and recommend adjustments.


Unlike DSE assessments, which focus on display screen equipment compliance, ergonomic assessments are suitable for a wider range of roles and environments, including hybrid workspaces, specialist setups, and roles involving physical demands.
