Workstation Checklist

1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this checklist is to provide the tool for members of staff to undertake an initial assessment of the set up of their workstation to help assist in achieving and maintaining good ergonomic work practices.

2. PROCEDURE

2.1 Self-assessment for an individual workstation can be carried out by following the downloadable WorkSafe Australia Workstation Assessment Checklist which gives you a step by step process to undertake.

2.2 If after having carried out the self-assessment you have a concern regarding your workstation or you are not comfortable carrying out a self-assessment then a request for a formal work station assessment may be made to the Occupational Health and Safety representatives.

For Further Information and Assistance please contact the staff Occupational Health and Safety representative: dturner@auscampus.net
