Ergonomics improves productivity and quality, reduces sickness, cuts compensation claims and saves costly mistakes in equipment purchase. We use our knowledge of human capabilities to optimise equipment and working conditions in offices, shops, hospitals and other environments. Based in the North East of England, our clients include the Land Registry, the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Transco plc. The EAGA Partnership, the Prescription Pricing Authority, the NHS Expert Patients' Program and Trinity Mirror Newspapers.

Office workplaces

Office design is under pressure, with high rents and changing work patterns encouraging our clients to explore new styles of office layout. Our ergonomics approach aims to make the office an effective environment for productive, satisfying and comfortable work.

New equipment selection

Technology moves quickly with new products apparently offering amazing benefits. We help clients ensure that their investment in furniture and IT equipment is cost effective and that new equipment meets appropriate standards and is usable in the working environment. Methods like task analysis and user trials help us to ensure that each client is getting the best value from their procurement budget.

DSE assessments and training

Display Screen Equipment (DSE) workstation assessments are a legal requirement throughout Europe. Our DSE assessments not only ensure that clients comply with the law but also help improve user comfort and productivity whilst our "In Depth" assessments look at the risks to disabled or injured workers.

Our courses aim to raise the profile of ergonomics within the organisation and are tailor-made for each client. Our assessors' courses help organisations to be self-sufficient, avoiding expensive external assessors whilst our user courses ensure they too know how to minimise discomfort and optimise productivity.
