Phase 3. How we can help with your plan of action.
In light of the States of Jersey’s recent advice surrounding the unlocking protocol regarding Covid-19, we have created a series of options to assist you in the planning and implementation of your risk assessments and in the creation of a structured plan of action.
For most businesses that is likely to include a staged return to the office and continuing support for those who are working from home. Employers are aware that what started as an emergency arrangement has now become a situation that can no longer be considered temporary. We are beginning a longer process and those at home are becoming more vulnerable as time goes on.
Our area of expertise is in the management of risk in computer workstations within the office and now more urgently, helping to create safer home-office workstations. Speaking to patients and colleagues, it has become quite clear to us that whilst staff have been prepared to put up with sub-optimal workstations for the last few weeks, many of them are silently struggling with back and neck pain. These people need support and careful management from employers.
We can provide:
Our professionally made DSE assessment film and questionnaire package for office and home workstations. This fulfils your duty of care and supports staff, helping to reduce downtime and maintain productivity and is suitable for use in Jersey and other jurisdictions. If required it can be created with your company branding and even demonstrate the use of your own office equipment.
Structured and fully documented Level 3 Virtual Workstation Assessments for pregnant mothers and individuals with significant muscle or joint pain. Including low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, arm and hand pain, headaches and migraines and also for people returning to work after significant medical issues.
A bespoke ergonomic consultancy service to assist in creating:
Suitable and sufficient measures of support.
Planning and implementing a physical return to work.
Revising and reviewing your risk assessments.
Assessing the level of risk to employees and employers.
Advising on workstation layout.
Balancing business and employee needs with physical environmental issues.
These support packages will be individually tailored for each employer.
