Work environment analysis

Mapping without a filter.

The free work environment analysis gives you an overview of the main challenges in your physical work environment. The visit usually takes about one hour, depending on the size of your organization and the scope of the task. If needed, we can take relevant measurements on site and then recommend the measures that make the most sense.

How it works

Analysis. Assessment. Recommendation.

The method is the same whether it is one office or fifteen locations. Only the scope changes.

  1. 01

    Analysis

    A consultant walks through the workstations together with one of your own employees. We look at the lighting at the work surface, assess reverberation and noise sources, screen temperature, drafts and humidity, and observe working postures at the desk, screen and chair.

    • Walkthrough with your safety representative
    • Measurements at individual workstations if needed
    • Conversations with employees
  2. 02

    Assessment

    Observations and any measurements are compared with Danish legislation, industry guidelines, benchmarks and research. This is where the numbers become a professional assessment of what is fine, what is borderline and what needs to change.

    • Compared with current requirements
    • Objective standards — not gut feeling
    • Sources you can look up
  3. 03

    Recommendation

    After the analysis, we can prepare a written summary of the main observations and recommendations if needed.

    • Prioritized action list
    • Free quick wins first
    • Review with management and the health and safety organization

The five focus areas

What we look at.

The body experiences the work environment as one thing. We examine it in five focus areas, because that is how the causes can be separated.

  • Ergonomics

    Desk, chair and working posture fitted to each employee, so the body holds up all day.

    Read about ergonomics
  • Acoustics

    Reducing noise and reverberation, so focused work and conversation can share the same room.

    Read about acoustics
  • Indoor climate

    Air quality, temperature and humidity kept at the level where minds work best.

  • Workplace lighting

    Light at the right intensity and color, exactly on the surface the task requires.

    Read about workplace lighting
  • Wellbeing

    Breaks and recovery that prevent wear and tear and keep energy up throughout the day.

What you get

The deliverable, in concrete terms.

The analysis does not end with a visit, but with a document you can base decisions on — and a follow-up that shows whether the changes worked.

  • If needed: a written summary with observations, any measurements and photos
  • Prioritized list of what should change — and in which order
  • Suggestions that cost nothing: adjustment, layout and placement
  • Documentation that can support your workplace assessment (APV) required by Danish law
  • Estimate for the measures that require purchases
  • If needed, we can take follow-up measurements, for example after three months, to assess the effect

Add-on

Custom Fit — when every workstation has to fit.

The analysis looks at the department. Custom Fit goes one layer deeper and reviews each employee's workstation, posture and settings — with a focus on the back and neck, where most people experience discomfort.

It is an add-on to the work environment analysis. Read what a Custom Fit includes, how it works and what you take away.

Who it is for

Three roles. One analysis.

  • The safety representative

    You need to be able to document what was looked at and what was decided. The report can support your own workplace assessment (APV) required by Danish law.

  • HR and management

    You want to know what gives the most effect for the money, and what can wait until the next budget year.

  • The individual employee

    Your neck hurts or you cannot concentrate. We look at your workstation, not at an average.

The basis

Documented knowledge.

Our assessments are based on Danish work environment legislation, industry guidelines and the latest research. When we say a light level is too low or a reverberation time too long, you can look up the source.

FAQ

Questions we often get.

How much does a work environment analysis cost?

The work environment analysis is free and without obligation. You do not pay for the visit, and there is no requirement to buy anything afterwards. Custom Fit — the individual review of each employee's workstation — costs DKK 599 per employee.

How long does a work environment analysis take?

The visit usually takes about one hour, depending on the size of your organization and the scope of the task.

What do you look at?

Lighting at the work surface, noise and reverberation, temperature, drafts and air quality, and working postures at the desk, screen and chair. If needed, we can measure relevant conditions on site or over time.

Do we have to buy anything afterwards?

No. Many of the recommendations can be carried out without purchases — correct adjustment of chair and desk, a new screen position or changed furniture layout. Only what the review actually calls for ends up as a purchase suggestion.

Can the report support our workplace assessment (APV) under Danish rules?

Yes. The report documents what was examined, what was found and what was decided, and can therefore support your own workplace assessment (APV) required by Danish law. We do not prepare the APV itself.

What is the difference between the analysis and Custom Fit?

The work environment analysis is a free, overall review of your organization's physical work environment. Custom Fit is the individual review and adjustment of each employee's workstation and costs DKK 599 per employee.

Do you measure again afterwards?

If needed, we can take follow-up measurements, for example after three months, to assess the effect.
