Why Choose Morgan Maxwell for Your Office Ergonomics?
An office ergonomics walkthrough is a high-volume assessment approach, ideal where:
- Most workstations are broadly similar
- Discomfort risk is generally low to moderate

It is not a replacement for an in-depth individual assessment where complex discomfort, return-to-work or reasonable adjustments are required.
When a Walkthrough Is the Right Option
Office ergonomics walkthrough assessments work well for:
- Larger offices or shared workspaces
- Office moves, refurbishments or re-occupations
- Hot-desking and agile working environments
- Rolling out baseline office ergonomics supportat scale
- Organisations wanting visible, proactive ergonomics input
If you’re unsure, we’ll help you choose the right approach during the scoping call.

Walkthrough vs DSE Assessments and Specialist Workstation Assessments
Walkthrough assessments are best for:
- speed and coverage
- standard office setups
- low to moderate risk environments
Individual workstation assessments are better for:

- reasonable adjustments
- home working setups
We regularly combine both approaches within the same organisation.
