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
Personalized Fit
We use individualized anthropometric measurements to evaluate how your body dimensions correspond to the workstation. Our assessment is based on evidence-based workstation guidelines and BIFMA standards (applicable to office seating) to identify neutral working positions.
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.
Evaluate Workstation
We evaluate all parts of your workstation: the 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 and principles.
Observe Job Functions
Every job is different. We review your job requirements, observe how you work, and see what movement patterns comprise your work day to determine what adjustments are needed.
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, recommended measurements, and individualized recommendations for movement and equipment.
