Work Site Assessments (WSA)
A WSA involves the evaluation of an employee, their workstation, the physical environment, organisational factors and its interaction with the employee. It is tailored to address the needs of each individual and includes an objective assessment of the workplace. Once complete, a plan is devised with both the employee and employer.
