Ergonomic Workplace Assessment

The purpose of this assessment is to provide reliable and comparable information regarding compliance with ergonomic design principles for workstations equipped with video display terminals (VDTs).

The assessment includes a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the overall workplace condition, equipment, and its arrangement, ensuring compliance with ergonomic requirements established by international standards.

This evaluation serves as a crucial foundation for enhancing work efficiency and comfort, while at the same time minimizing risks related to safety and health.

For VDT users, it is common to adopt various postures during work, including:
✔ Sitting with back support;
✔ Sitting with an extended or bent posture;
✔ Standing;
✔ A combination of sitting and standing.

Proper workstation design can facilitate movement, increase comfort, and reduce physical, mental, and visual strain for users.
