Workplace Ergonomic Assessments for San Diego Employees
An ergonomic assessment addresses the root of ergonomic risk factors such as awkward postures or contact stress. When not addressed, risk factors can lead to discomfort, pain, or Musculoskeletal Disorders. Up to 70% of desk workers report musculoskeletal discomfort at some point. Working through pain does not have to be the norm.
Comprehensive Office Assessment Process
Analyze Risk Factors
Ergonomic risk factors include awkward postures, contact stress, excessive force, & repetition. Our goal is reduce your level of ergonomic risk and increase comfort.
Observe Job Functions
Every job is different. We review your job requirements, job tasks, and movement patterns that comprise your work day to determine what adjustments are needed.
Evaluate Workstation
We evaluate all parts of your workstation: chair, work surface, keyboard, mouse, screens/monitors, and the environment (e.g. lighting) in order to bring your workstation into compliance with current ergonomic standards.
Personalized Measurements
We ensure you are working in neutral positions by measuring your seat height, seat pan depth, elbow height in sitting and standing, and monitor distance and height.
Individualized Equipment Recommendations
Recommendations consider every employee’s unique job and needs. Recommended equipment can include chairs, adjustable desks, keyboards, mice, monitors, and accessories.
Formal Report
The formal report is considered the gold standard of ergonomic assessments. It outlines risk factors, adjustments, workstation considerations, measurements, and individualized recommendations for movement and equipment.
