Synergy provide a range of proactive ergonomic workplace assessments, each tailored to the needs of the customer.

Our OH physiotherapists will deliver a comprehensive assessment of a worker, workplace or workplace process. Workforce interview, job demands analysis and ergonomic task evaluation will identify and quantify potential MSD risk factors. This will inform a comprehensive report with clear recommendations to remove, reduce and control MSD business risk and improve employee health, safety and wellbeing.

No workplace or workforce is the same, therefore each assessment is unique.

Our robust DSE assessments and reports meet all health, safety and compliance requirements. However, as chartered physiotherapist and specialists in occupational health, we do not believe that DSE assessments in isolation are effective in preventing workplace MSD. Therefore, during our assessments we support employees in challenging and changing sedentary behaviours, increasing physical activity (in and out of work) and kick starting healthy lifestyle changes.

FCEs are tailored fitness for work assessments delivered by OH physiotherapists. They are comprehensive, multifaceted assessments designed to replicate physical work demands and subsequently evaluate an employee’s work capacity. FCEs are invaluable for the assessment of complex cases and are typically used in instances of repeated absence or return to work following prolonged absence.

Synergy will provide a full report including prognosis, capability to work, work place accommodation requirements and a rehabilitation plan.
