Ergonomic audit – legal firm

A legal firm asked enricoSmog ergonomic practitioners to carry out an ergonomic audit of their workplace.

This was carried out and problems were found in the mail room, and that various partners and secretarial staff suffered from musculoskeletal discomfort,

The mail room counter was too high and caused workers to suffer from neck and shoulder pain. An alternative design for the mail sorting task.that could incorporate both the small and larger user was put forward and a trial desk  set up that took into account the ergonomic criteria required.  Based on positive feedback a new counter was built.

Some of the legal partners were experiencing pain and discomfort. A DSE user awareness session was scheduled, and a DSE management system put in place. Any user still experiencing pain then had a follow up DSE assessment.

Without the audit and bespoke system many of the problems would not have surfaced, till it was too late.
