What does “ergonomic” mean under the Nigerian Factories Act?
In this context, ergonomic refers to the physical arrangement of workstations, tools, and pathways to reduce strain and improve efficiency. It does not refer to clinical ergonomics or medical assessments. All recommendations align with the structural and workflow requirements of the Factories Act, not health or therapy standards.
Are these designs suitable for existing buildings?
Yes. Every layout and audit is developed for retrofit scenarios. We assess load-bearing walls, column spacing, and existing utility routes before proposing changes. New builds follow the same principles but allow more flexibility in structural placement.
What is excluded from these services?
We do not provide clinical psychology, therapy, counselling, or any medical health service. The term “psychology” in the company name refers to the study of human behaviour in industrial environments — specifically how workers interact with physical space, equipment, and workflow sequences.
Who is responsible for regulatory compliance?
Our designs are prepared to meet the structural and safety requirements of the Nigerian Factories Act. Final compliance certification rests with the client’s appointed engineer or regulatory consultant. We provide documentation and rationale, but we do not act as a statutory authority.
Can these conditions be modified per project?
Each engagement includes a scope-of-work document that defines the specific conditions, exclusions, and deliverables. The clarifications above serve as a baseline. Any deviation must be agreed in writing before the design phase begins.
