Worksite Assessments

Optimise the Workspace

Workplace Risk provides specialised on-site assessments of both workers pre-injury duties and consideration of potential suitable duties and broader environmental and role specific assessments of high risk and problematic work departments.

Worksite assessments are designed to identify the critical demands of the work tasks, including physical, psychological, and cognitive demands.

Employers can directly engage Workplace Risk Occupational Therapists to conduct Worksite Assessments with their workers for WorkCover and non-WorkCover matters.

The Workplace Risk approach to Worksite Assessments includes;

• In-depth assessment by our qualified Occupational Therapists
• Consultation with staff, management, and key stakeholders
• Assessment of the worksite and workers’ duties
• Ergonomic audit of the current work environment
• Identification of the critical demands of work tasks
• Proactive identification of people at risk of injury
• Application of Australian Building Standards and proven best practice
• Actionable report of findings and prevention measures to be applied
• Staff training and self-managed behavioural change programs

Improve Performance & Reduce Risks

Workplace Risk Worksite Assessments follow a proven process and are conducted in line with the requirements of Worksafe to ensure that employers meet their legal obligations and enable the effective management of claims.

The approach adopted by Workplace Risk means that Worksite Assessments are an effective tool for both non-WorkCover matters to aid in effective workforce management as well as in their primary application to manage WorkCover Claims.

Workplace Risk ensures that they provide a positive framework to assist in facilitating workers return to work and to prevent further injuries or exacerbation of pre-existing conditions.
