These days, more and more employees are working from home. However, correct ergonomic design in home offices is often overlooked, with home-based employees often more at risk of injury and there is an increased costs associated with it.

Employees generally set-up their own home office and may make poor choices when it comes to the type of chair used and desk measurements, for example, sitting on a non-adjustable dining room chair at a dining table of incorrect height.

Ergobiz have designed an ergonomic assessment customised to the home office ensuring the employee remains safe and without risk to health while completing their duties abiding by the ultimate ergonomic design. They are instructed on how to set up their workspace and educated on the importance of regular stretch breaks. Other components considered in the assessment include over-loaded power points, the presence of smoke alarms, trip hazards and clutter-free exits from the home among other factors.
