Vehicle Assessments

Driving for work can place significant strain on the body, especially for those who spend long hours behind the wheel.

Our Vehicle Ergonomic Assessments are designed to help drivers stay comfortable, safe, and productive, while supporting employers in reducing the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

What is a Vehicle Ergonomic Assessment?

A vehicle ergonomic assessment evaluates how well a driver’s posture, seating position, and control layout fit their body and driving tasks. The goal is to identify and correct factors that may cause discomfort, fatigue, or injury over time, ensuring every journey is as safe and comfortable as possible.

What we assess

Our specialist assessors look at:

  • Driver Posture & Seating Setup

    Ensuring the seat, steering wheel, mirrors, and pedals are adjusted to the individual’s needs.

  • Control, Reach & Visibility

    Checking that displays, controls, and mirrors are positioned to reduce awkward movements or distraction.

  • Cabin Layout & Vehicle Suitability

    Evaluating whether the vehicle type or configuration fits the driver’s role and body size.

  • Work Tasks & Driving Duration

    Reviewing how long drivers spend behind the wheel and whether rest breaks or rotation could reduce strain.

  • Accessibility & Inclusivity

    Supporting drivers of varying abilities, including those returning to work after injury or with mobility challenges.

Why It Matters

A small change in seat position or posture can make a huge difference. Vehicle ergonomic assessments help to:

  • Prevent Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain

  • Improve Driver Comfort & Concentration

  • Reduce Sickness Absence & Fatigue

  • Meet Duty of Care Obligations & Legal Standards
