Listening. Understanding. Supporting.
Every person’s experience at work is unique.
Effective workplace solutions begin with understanding the individual — their work demands, their circumstances, their preferences and what will enable them to successfully participate in their role.
Through more than 30 years of Occupational Therapy practice, Bernie has developed a strong ability to listen carefully, identify what matters most and collaborate with individuals to develop solutions that fit.

Taking the time to understand the individual, their role, their concerns and their goals.
Understanding
Using Occupational Therapy knowledge and extensive workplace experience to identify the factors influencing comfort, confidence and work participation.

Workstation Ergonomic Assessments
BBOT offers a range of workstation assessment services including workstation and chair checks, prevention workstation assessments and comprehensive workstation assessments. The level of assessment is matched to the purpose of the referral, the employer's and/or individual's needs and the complexity of the situation.
BBOT provides individualised assessments of computer based work environments to identify factors that may be contributing to discomfort, reduced efficiency or difficulty performing work tasks.
Assessments include:
individual issues/symptoms and requirements
workstation and chair setup and adjustment
chair and desk suitability
monitor positioning
keyboard and mouse options
posture and movement patterns
work practices
Recommendations are developed collaboratively, considering both the workplace environment and the individual who uses it.
The goal is to identify solutions that the person understands and can successfully incorporate into their working routine.
Early Intervention Workplace Assessments
Early intervention provides an opportunity to identify and understand workplace issues and implement practical strategies before they become more significant barriers to participation.
BBOT works with individuals whose work participation has been affected by injury, illness, changing capacity, workplace demands or other factors influencing their ability to perform their role comfortably and effectively.
Each assessment considers:
the individual
their work role
their workplace environment
contributing factors
practical options for improvement
The outcome is a personalised approach designed to support sustainable work participation.
