WORKSTATION ERGONOMICS
Your Workstation Should Work for You — Not Against You.
The rapid expansion of desk-based and digital work across Pakistan’s corporate, banking, telecoms, development, and government sectors has created a silent epidemic of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Back pain, neck strain, repetitive strain injuries, and eye fatigue are now among the leading causes of workplace absence and long-term disability globally.
Since the massive increase in Display Screen Equipment (DSE) use, workers are exposed to a new set of health risks that, if not properly managed, progressively worsen over time. At Innovative HSE, we conduct professional ergonomic assessments and deliver practical training programs that make your workstations genuinely user-friendly — and your workforce genuinely healthier.
1. Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Risk Assessments
Most DSE-related injuries are entirely preventable with simple, inexpensive workstation adjustments. The problem is that most workers do not know what to adjust, or why. Our DSE Risk Assessment service corrects that — systematically, professionally, and practically.
Our ergonomic assessors visit your workplace, evaluate each workstation against international ergonomic standards, and provide each worker and the organization with a clear, actionable report.
What Our DSE Assessment Covers:
- Screen position — height, distance, tilt, and glare reduction
- Chair adjustment — lumbar support, seat height, armrests, and footrest need
- Keyboard and mouse placement — to prevent repetitive strain and carpal tunnel risk
- Desk layout and workstation organization
- Lighting assessment — natural and artificial, glare, and contrast
- Work pattern review — break frequency, task rotation, and micro-break recommendations
- Individual employee health concerns — existing conditions or symptoms that require adapted solutions
What We Deliver:
- Individual DSE assessment reports for each workstation assessed
- Organizational DSE summary report with common findings and recommended actions
- Prioritized corrective action list by severity
- Product recommendations where equipment changes are required
- Follow-up re-assessment to verify corrective actions have been implemented
2. Ergonomic Training and Campaigns
Assessments fix today’s problems. Training prevents tomorrow’s. Our ergonomic training programs teach employees the principles of good workstation setup so they can identify and correct ergonomic problems themselves — whenever they change desks, work from home, or move to a new office.
Our Ergonomic Training and Campaign Portfolio:
- DSE User Training — how to set up your workstation correctly, step by step
- Posture awareness workshop — understanding the musculoskeletal impact of poor posture and what to do about it
- Active working and micro-break training — the value of movement, and how to integrate it into the working day
- Manual handling and safe lifting — for non-desk workers handling physical materials
- Home working ergonomics guide — for hybrid and remote workers
- Ergonomic health campaigns — awareness events, desk drop cards, posters, and team challenges
Why It Matters:
Workstation ergonomics programs reduce sick leave related to MSDs, improve employee comfort and productivity, and demonstrate organizational commitment to worker wellbeing — a direct ESG social indicator.
