Almost every organisation has some office-based work. Technology like data processing, communications and information transfer has enabled an enormous increase in the volume of information handled daily. These changes offer many positive effects through faster communication, greater job satisfaction and increased variety in the tasks performed, but also some negatives like decreased physical variation, information overload, repetition and monotony.

The increase in flexible and portable equipment has also expanded the office environment into areas outside the traditional office such as on-site locations, vehicles and the home. Occupational health and safety practices need to keep pace with the rapid changes in office-based work.

Conducted by our Occupational Therapists, P2 Group offer Office Ergonomics Training for workers and managers, which when implemented, will assist in minimising Workers’ Compensation claims, associate costs and maintain a healthy and fit workforce. Training programs are tailor made to suit each organisation and ensure that the Inherent Requirements of each Job within that organisation are addressed.
