Office and home office ergonomic assessments & training

Level 1a — Sit-Safe Ergonomic Training + Roaming Desk Checks

Our most popular entry-level ergonomic solution

A practical, high-impact way to improve workstation setup across your workforce — fast.

Level 1a combines onsite group ergonomic training with brief one-on-one desk checks, making it ideal for organisations with multiple staff needing consistent, evidence-based ergonomic guidance.

A qualified allied-health professional (Physiotherapist, Osteopath, Exercise Physiologist or Occupational Therapist) delivers a 30–45 minute “Sit-Safe” training session covering:

• Core ergonomic principles

• Common workstation risks and injuries

• Postural awareness and movement strategies

• Live demonstration using a mock workstation

Following the session, we move through the workplace, spending 10 minutes per worker at their actual desk to:

• Adjust chairs, screens, desks and accessories where possible

• Reinforce key setup principles

• Provide individualised, practical advice

• Identify higher-risk workers who may require follow-up

This blended approach ensures staff can apply what they learn immediately, while giving management visibility over any remaining ergonomic risks.

Best for:

• Medium to large teams

• Organisations seeking fast, scalable ergonomic coverage

• Proactive injury prevention and early risk identification

What’s included:

• Onsite Sit-Safe ergonomic training 

• 10-minute individual workstation desk check per worker
  (~5 workers per hour)

• Real-time workstation adjustments where possible

• Management summary outlining:

  • Outstanding ergonomic risks

  • Recommended equipment or changes

• No individual reports (by design — keeps cost and delivery efficient)
