Ergonomic assessments and ergonomic workshops are a great place to start when addressing and looking to prevent musculoskeletal issues.

The best way to prevent poor ergonomic work practices is to provide employees with the right information to be able to identify the issues or risk factors before they cause an injury.

By up skilling employees, organisations are able to actively improve their working environment through workstation ergonomics and make positive changes to the company’s workplace culture.

What is your guess?




Traditionally, the average employee does not report an injury for as many as 84 days.

This length of time can lead to injuries deteriorating and lasting for extensive periods, resulting in expensive claims.

This is why our onsite injury prevention model goes beyond treatment provision. We encourage employees to move from a reactive to a proactive mindset by encouraging them to present early for treatment of niggles, aches and pains before they become injuries.

This approach empowers managers, supervisors and employees to take effective actions to attain meaningful outcomes.

it is Tradies National Health Month and the APA have shared six reasons physios can help tradies:

Work safe and smart for a long, healthy career
Act early when it comes to low back pain
Fit for work does not mean fit for life
Bodies change as you age, so should the way you work
Drive for longevity by setting up your vehicle right
Longer sleeps make for a longer career

Physios play a crucial role in reducing musculoskeletal concerns through a worker's lifespan and improving quality of life in retirement.

While both Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists both do rehabilitative work, the two roles are quite different from one another.

A Physiotherapist focuses on treating an individuals injury (whether that is a torn ligament, fracture or another injury that has impaired their mobility), and works to improve the individuals ability to perform a movement.

An Occupational Therapist on the other hand will help a person who has suffered an accident or illness live as independently as possible by improving their ability to perform everyday tasks.

The impact of mental illness on your business...

It is estimated that at any point in time, one in five working age people will be suffering from a mental health condition.

45 per cent of Australians will experience a mental health or substance-use disorder in their lifetime.

It is also estimated that Mental Health conditions cost Australian businesses $11 billion per year, attributed to health expenses, reduced workforce participation and decreased productivity in the workplace.

Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations were recently nationally harmonised to provide uniformity across expectations for noise and hearing testing across Australian workplaces.

Testing types and requirements may vary slightly across states and industries. However, the overarching WHS regulations place a duty on persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) to provide hearing testing for employees who are frequently required to use personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect them from the risk of hearing loss associated with noise that exceeds the exposure standard.

The PCBU who provides the PPE as a control measure must provide hearing testing:
● Within three months of the worker commencing the work; and
● in any event, at least every 2 years.

Hearing testing will be mandatory for employees requiring hearing protection when Regulation 58 is enforced in April 2024 (WorkSafe).

What are the benefits of screening potential employees?

Reduced Turnover
By thoroughly screening a candidate before hiring, employers are able to improve their chances of selecting the right person for the right role within their organisation. This can help to increase productivity and reduce the costs associated with high employee turnover rates.

Safety and Injury Prevention
Appropriate pre-employment medical and functional tests can be used to identify any health or fitness issues that could potentially make an individual unfit for a role. Armed with this information, a company is in a better position to hire a candidate that is more suited for the role or otherwise implement reasonable changes to accommodate the individual’s needs. This also protects the business and helps to keep medical costs to a minimum.

Why are ergonomic assessments important?

Employers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their employees’ health and wellbeing is not compromised. The lack of supportive equipment, suitable workspaces and often the requirement to use laptops for a prolonged period means that the potential for musculoskeletal injuries is significantly exacerbated, predisposing employers to an increased likelihood of claims and cost of doing business.

A workplace ergonomic assessment ensures optimal working posture, work practices and correct workstation set up.

Bowel cancer claims the lives of 103 Australians every week (5,354 people a year) - but it's one of the most treatable types of cancer when detected early.

This is why health surveillance and periodic medicals are so important. The benefit of investing in health surveillance goes beyond simply managing health risks and negating liability. The data that you collect can help keep your employees safe, improve productivity, reduce absenteeism and boost the profitability of your business.

Musculoskeletal injuries can negatively affect an individual’s productivity in the workplace, as well as their personal wellbeing, which is why it is imperative to monitor their functional capacity to ensure that preventive measures can be implemented where applicable.

A Functional Movement Screen comprises seven movements that quickly and effectively screen core strength, coordination, flexibility and dynamic stability, including:

Deep Squat
Hurdle Step
In-line Lunge
Shoulder Mobility
Active Straight Leg Raise
Trunk Stability Push Up
Rotary Stability

This feedback can then be used to drive other functional and health promotion programs onsite such as strength, flexibility and conditioning programs.

Health surveillance is as fundamental to a business as servicing your machinery is.

If a site manager told you that your heavy machinery had never been serviced and was showing signs of malfunction, would you get a mechanic to look at it now or wait until it breaks down? Your heavy machinery is worth a lot of money, so chances are, getting it serviced is high on your priority list.

Your workforce is your most valuable asset. By assessing your employees’ health regularly, you will have the information you need to avoid injury, maximise productivity and reduce operating costs
