Workplace Assessments

Whether it is a standard workplace assessment, which needs to fulfil minimum HSE requirements, or a bespoke detailed workplace assessment, Connect has the answer.

Onsite musculoskeletal/ergonomic risk assessments can be provided on request to assist managers in identifying the potential risks to staff of sustaining a recordable injury or accumulative strain. Temporary restrictions or specific alterations to working practices can be discussed in order to avoid absence, allow early return to work or prevent further injury.

All Connects workplace assessments are completed by Occupational Physiotherapists and exceed the minimum standards imposed on companies through HSE regulations.

The different workplace assessments available on request include:
