Workplace Safety Programmes › WERA
Our Flagship ProgrammeWorkplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment (WERA)
Identify ergonomic hazards in high-risk roles before they become injuries with structured, evidence-based assessments and MOM/WSH-ready reporting.
Is WERA right for you?
- Roles involving manual handling, lifting, or carrying
- Workers in repetitive or fixed-posture tasks
- Work-at-height or confined space operations
- History of MSD complaints or workplace injuries
- BizSAFE, ISO 45001, or MOM compliance needs
- Employees returning to work after injury
If any of these apply, we can help.

What Is a Workplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment?
A WERA is a structured, on-site evaluation of the physical demands placed on employees in their daily tasks. It identifies ergonomic risk factors, awkward postures, repetitive movements, forceful exertions, and environmental hazards before they result in musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), injuries, or lost productivity.
Under Singapore's WSH Act and MOM guidelines, employers with high-risk roles are expected to proactively manage ergonomic hazards. AnjouHealth's WERA programme provides the rigorous assessment, documentation, and actionable recommendations your organisation needs.
WERA is right for your organisation if you have:
- Roles involving manual handling, lifting, or carrying
- Workers in repetitive or fixed-posture tasks
- Work-at-height or confined space operations
- Production line or assembly workers
- A history of MSD complaints or workplace injuries
- BizSAFE, ISO 45001, or MOM compliance requirements
- Employees returning to work after musculoskeletal injury
- Facilities management, healthcare, or F&B operations
Industries & Roles We Assess
WERA is particularly valuable for industries with physically demanding or repetitive work but any role with ergonomic risk factors can benefit.
Manufacturing
Assembly, production lines, machine operation
Construction
Work-at-height, heavy lifting, confined spaces
Healthcare
Patient handling, nursing, care roles
Facilities Management
Cleaning, maintenance, operations
F&B & Hospitality
Kitchen, service, and logistics roles
Logistics & Warehousing
Loading, packing, order fulfilment
Engineering & Utilities
Maintenance, technical, field operations
Office Environments
Desk-based, sedentary, screen-intensive roles
Our WERA Process
A rigorous five-step process designed to give you a complete picture of ergonomic risk and a clear plan to address it.
Step 1: Consultation & Scoping
We begin with a discovery call to understand your organisation's size, industry, workforce profile, and specific concerns. We identify which roles and work areas will be assessed, and agree on scope, timeline, and access requirements before any site visit takes place.
You receive
A confirmed assessment scope document outlining roles to be assessed, timeline, and what to prepare before the site visit.
The Impact of Proactive Ergonomic Assessment
Organisations that invest in ergonomic risk assessment consistently see measurable improvements across safety, productivity, and compliance.
Fewer MSD Injuries
Early identification of high-risk tasks prevents musculoskeletal disorders before they occur.
WSH Compliance
MOM-ready documentation supports your BizSAFE, ISO 45001, and regulatory obligations.
Productivity Gains
Reduced physical strain means fewer sick days, less fatigue, and more consistent output.
Lower Costs
Preventing one serious MSD injury saves far more than the cost of a full WERA engagement.
