Workplace Health & Safety

Ergonomic or Workstation Assessments are crucial to ensuring employees can work comfortably and safely at their workstations, minimising the risk of musculoskeletal pain or injuries. We conduct thorough assessments of workstations and review current equipment, providing recommendations for any necessary adjustments or new equipment. These assessments are particularly relevant for administrative roles.

Workplace Assessments are designed to evaluate the current demands of an employee’s role. By developing a detailed list of duties and assessing their physical demands, we can identify the physical requirements necessary to perform the job. This information can inform a graduated return to work plan or be used in pre-employment screenings. These assessments are especially useful for physically demanding roles and can help identify any necessary equipment.

Our Early Intervention Programs ensure that employees receive the necessary treatment, assistance, and medical services as soon as possible following an injury. Early intervention is key to improving symptoms, taking appropriate action promptly, and ultimately reducing healthcare costs. These programs are designed to provide support and medical care at the earliest possible stage.

Functional Capacity Evaluations involve a series of tests to determine an employee’s physical ability to meet the demands of their pre-injury role. These evaluations can be used to assess an employee’s suitability for their role, assist in their recovery, and aid in their return to work. They can be conducted prior to or during employment.

AHR assists with developing and implementing appropriate return to work programs when an injury has occurred or circumstances have changed. This involves liaising with treatment providers, the employee, and the employer to ensure the employee can safely complete their duties. Our support helps facilitate a smooth and safe return to work.

We offer Exercise Physiology assessments and treatments on-site to reduce barriers related to travel and scheduling outside of work hours. This makes it easier for employees to access the treatment they need, promoting quicker and more effective recovery.
