Bespoke Risk Discovery


Data Led Insight for Targeted Injury Prevention

EMP Onsite: Work Strong, Work Safe

Every workplace is different, and so are its risks. EMP Onsite’s Bespoke Risk Discovery process combines clinical expertise, human performance analysis, and data-driven technology to uncover the real causes of workplace injuries and inefficiencies.


Our physiotherapists, ergonomists, and data analysts conduct structured, onsite evaluations that blend observational insight with quantitative measurement. This includes physical-demand analysis, psychosocial review, and digital motion or load assessment.


By translating these findings into measurable variables, task forces, repetition rates, posture demands, and cognitive load, we help organisations pinpoint the highest-impact opportunities for risk reduction and productivity gain.


Whether you’re addressing emerging manual-handling concerns, validating your ergonomic redesign, or benchmarking national operations, our bespoke discovery process gives you the clarity to act confidently.

Key Benefits

  • Identifies the true root causes of physical and psychosocial risk
  • Quantifies injury risk using validated clinical and digital methods
  • Provides actionable recommendations prioritised by risk level and cost–benefit
  • Aligns with ISO 45001, ISO 45003, and WHS Regulations
  • Enables measurable ROI through targeted interventions and reduced claims
  • Creates a defensible evidence base for future program design and investment

How It Works

1. Discovery & Data Gathering


We begin with stakeholder interviews, injury and claims analysis, and review of incident trends to define focus areas (e.g. manual handling, fatigue, role change, psychosocial risk).


2. Onsite Assessment


EMP clinicians and ergonomists conduct structured observation, video capture, and motion analysis of work tasks to identify high-risk activities, loading patterns, and environmental contributors.


3. Quantification & Validation


Where relevant, wearable and sensor-based tools are used to quantify repetition, force, and posture frequency. Human-performance testing validates the physical demands placed on workers, creating objective, evidence-based metrics.


4. Analysis & Risk Profiling


Findings are consolidated into a weighted risk profile, integrating physical, environmental, and psychosocial factors. This provides a clear, prioritised view of where interventions will yield the greatest impact.


5. Strategy & Implementation Planning


A tailored risk-reduction roadmap is developed, including injury-prevention priorities, work design recommendations, and training focus areas. Results feed directly into EMP’s Dashboard for ongoing measurement and ROI tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's included in Risk Discovery?

    A complete analysis of your workplace risk profile, including task observation, data capture (where applicable), stakeholder consultation, and a prioritised improvement plan.

  • How is this different from a standard ergonomic assessment?

    Unlike a generic audit, Risk Discovery is fully customised, it combines clinical and digital measurement tools to uncover root causes of both physical and psychosocial risk, not just visible hazards.

  • Do you provide measurable outcomes?

    Yes. Each discovery includes quantifiable findings (e.g. load frequency, posture duration, or risk ranking) and a recommended action roadmap with expected ROI metrics.

  • Can this process be scaled across multiple sites or nationally?

    Absolutely. EMP’s standardised assessment and reporting model allows consistent multi-site data collection and comparison across states or business units.

  • How long does the process take?

    Depending on the scope, assessments typically take 1–3 days onsite, with final reporting within two weeks. Larger national programs can be staged to maintain operational continuity.

  • How are findings reported?

    All results are delivered in a structured report and uploaded to the EMP Risk Portal, with key metrics visible through the EMP Dashboard for leadership visibility and tracking.

Our proven programs typically deliver a 30% reduction in Workers’ Compensation claims and premium costs in addition to improving the workplace culture and the performance of individual workers and teams.
