How We Work With You

---

Please complete all required forms and attach a clear photo of your current workstation setup for your ergonomic assessment. After filling out the necessary documents, email them to info@ergonomicworks.com. Your remote ergonomic evaluation will commence as soon as we receive your materials and process the deposit, ensuring a comprehensive workstation evaluation.

To ensure the most accurate remote ergonomic evaluation, your ergonomist requires clear, well-lit photos of your workstation taken from specific angles. By following these steps, you can capture all the essential details needed for an effective workstation evaluation, which is vital for a comprehensive ergonomic assessment.  

What You'll Need  

* A smartphone or camera  

* A tripod (highly recommended for stability and accurate angles) or a stable surface to place your camera  

* Good lighting (natural light is best, but ensure your workspace is well-lit)  

* A helper (optional, but can make some shots easier)

* Clean Up Your Workspace: Remove any clutter that could obstruct your view of your equipment or hinder your posture to prepare for an effective ergonomic assessment.

* Wear Typical Work Attire: Dress in the clothes you normally wear while working to ensure your posture remains unaltered during your remote ergonomic evaluation.

* Sit Naturally: Position yourself at your workstation as you typically would when working. Avoid adjusting your posture artificially or sitting differently than usual, as the goal is to accurately capture your working posture for a thorough workstation evaluation.

For each photo, ensure that your entire body (from head to toe) and the complete workstation are visible, as this is crucial for a thorough ergonomic assessment. To enhance the effectiveness of your remote ergonomic evaluation, have someone else take the photos if possible. If that's not feasible, use a tripod and a timer to capture the best angles for your workstation evaluation.

* Setup: Position the camera directly in front of you, approximately 6-10 feet away, to ensure that both you and your entire workstation are visible for an effective remote ergonomic evaluation.

* What to Show:

* Your full body from head to toe.

* Your computer monitor, keyboard, mouse, and any other items on your desk that will assist in the ergonomic assessment.

* The chair you are using.

* Focus: This shot is crucial for the workstation evaluation, as it allows the ergonomist to see your overall setup and how you are positioned at your desk during the assessment.

* Setup: Position the camera to your right side, approximately 6-10 feet away, directly perpendicular to your body. * What to Show: * Your full body from head to toe. * Your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and the side profile of your chair. * Focus: This shot is crucial for your ergonomic assessment, as it provides the necessary visuals for a comprehensive remote ergonomic evaluation of your posture. It effectively captures angles of your back, neck, arms, and legs, illustrating their interaction with your equipment during the workstation evaluation.

* Setup: Repeat the process from Step 2, positioning the camera on your left side for a comprehensive ergonomic assessment aimed at enhancing your workspace comfort.

* What to Show: Maintain the same view as the right side to ensure consistency in your remote ergonomic evaluation, which is crucial for obtaining accurate results during your workstation evaluation.

* Focus: This setup provides a detailed view of your posture from both sides, allowing you to identify any asymmetries that may occur during your workstation evaluation.

* Setup: Capture a photo from directly above your desk for your ergonomic assessment, ensuring you focus on your keyboard and mouse as part of the workstation evaluation process.

* What to Show:  

* For an effective workstation evaluation, the placement of your keyboard and mouse is essential, as it significantly impacts your remote ergonomic evaluation.

* Include your hands and wrists resting on or near the keyboard and mouse, as this information is crucial for a thorough remote ergonomic evaluation.

* Focus: This setup plays a vital role in assessing your wrist position and identifying potential strain points during your ergonomic assessment.

* Setup: For an effective ergonomic assessment, position yourself at floor level and capture a photo that clearly shows your feet, the available floor space under your desk, and how your legs fit within that space during your workstation evaluation.

* What to Show:

* Your feet (are they flat on the floor or resting on a footrest?).

* Any obstructions under your desk (e.g., computer tower, drawers).

* The amount of space available for your knees and thighs.

* Focus: This step is crucial for a thorough remote ergonomic evaluation, as it helps assess lower body support and identify potential circulation issues.

* Setup: Capture a wide shot of your entire workstation for an ergonomic assessment. This image should include your desk, chair, monitor, and the surrounding environment, ensuring that you are not in the picture. This will aid in conducting a thorough remote ergonomic evaluation.

* What to Show:

* Displaying the complete setup of your desk is crucial for the remote ergonomic evaluation.

* Any additional equipment or items in your immediate work area should also be captured.

* The overall lighting conditions can influence the workstation evaluation.

* Focus: This method allows the ergonomist to gain a comprehensive view of your workspace layout and environmental factors that are essential for an effective workstation evaluation.

* Lighting: During your workstation evaluation for the ergonomic assessment, make sure to ensure good, even lighting. It’s important to avoid strong backlighting, as it can create an unwanted silhouette while conducting your remote ergonomic evaluation.

* Clarity: For a successful remote ergonomic evaluation, it’s essential to take clear, focused photos of your workstation setup. Blurry images can hinder your ergonomic assessment by making it difficult to accurately gauge your workspace.

* File Size: Ergonomists often have specific preferences regarding the images needed for a comprehensive ergonomic assessment. When emailing them, be mindful of file sizes; consider compressing your images or using a file-sharing service to streamline the process.

* Number of Photos: If you think additional photos could enhance your workstation evaluation, feel free to take a few extras. However, prioritize capturing the key angles that are crucial for the ergonomic assessment.

Once you have these photos, you will be well-equipped to provide your ergonomist with the visual information necessary for your remote ergonomic evaluation and ergonomic assessment, ensuring a thorough workstation evaluation.
