Why ergonomics matters

Good ergonomics improves safety, health, productivity and employee experience.

Ergonomics is the science of designing workspaces, tasks, products and systems to fit the people who use them. When applied well, it helps reduce musculoskeletal risks, improve comfort, support performance and create healthier workplaces.

What we assess

Practical ergonomics assessment for office, industrial and operational work.

IEH supports organisations in identifying ergonomic and human factors issues that may affect health, safety, comfort, productivity and work performance.

People, tasks and work demands

We review postures, movements, force, repetition, duration, work pace, manual handling demands and the physical capabilities required to perform the task safely.

Workstations, equipment and layout

We assess workstation setup, reach distances, working heights, tool use, equipment interface, seating, display screen arrangement and layout constraints.

Environment and work organisation

Where relevant, we consider lighting, thermal comfort, heat stress, workflow, job design, communication, fatigue, psychosocial factors and organisational arrangements.

Our approach

From assessment to practical improvement.

We translate ergonomics principles into practical actions that can be implemented in real workplaces.

Understand

Review the task, workplace, workforce and operational needs.

Assess

Identify relevant risk factors using suitable ergonomic methods.

Analyse

Common questions

Frequently asked questions on ergonomics and human factors services.

These answers provide a concise overview for organisations considering ergonomics assessment, workplace redesign or human factors consultancy support.

What is the difference between ergonomics and human factors?

Ergonomics and human factors both focus on designing work, systems and environments around human capabilities and limitations. Ergonomics is often associated with physical work design, while human factors also includes cognitive, organisational and system performance considerations.

What is included in an ergonomics assessment?

An assessment may include task observation, workstation review, worker interviews, posture and movement assessment, review of force, repetition and duration, environmental considerations, risk prioritisation and practical recommendations.

Can IEH assess both office and industrial work?

Yes. IEH supports office ergonomics, workstation assessments, manual handling risk assessments, industrial task reviews, ageing workforce projects, heat stress assessments and broader human factors advisory work.

Can IEH provide training after the assessment?

Yes. IEH can provide customised ergonomics training, manual handling training, office ergonomics awareness, supervisor briefings and implementation support based on the findings from the assessment.
