How We Work With You

---

Please complete all required forms and include a clear photo of your current workstation setup for your ergonomic assessment. Once you have completed the necessary documents, email them to info@ergonomicworks.com. Your remote ergonomic evaluation will begin once we receive your materials and the deposit has been processed.

To achieve the most accurate remote ergonomic evaluation, your ergonomist will require clear, well-lit photos of your workstation from specific angles. Follow these steps to ensure you capture all the necessary details for an effective workstation evaluation.

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 might obstruct the view of your equipment or posture to prepare for an effective ergonomic assessment.

* Wear Typical Work Attire: Dress in clothes you would normally wear while working to ensure your posture isn't artificially altered during your remote ergonomic evaluation.

* Sit Naturally: Position yourself at your workstation as you typically would when working. Don't try to 'fix' your posture or sit differently than usual, as the goal is to capture your actual working posture for a thorough workstation evaluation.

For each photo, ensure your entire body (from head to toe) and the full workstation are visible, as this is crucial for a thorough ergonomic assessment. If possible, have someone else take the photos for you to facilitate a more accurate remote ergonomic evaluation. If not, use a tripod and a timer to capture the best workstation evaluation.

* Setup: Position the camera directly in front of you, about 6-10 feet away, ensuring you and your entire workstation are in the frame for an effective remote ergonomic evaluation.

* What to Show:

* Your full body from head to toe.

* Your computer monitor, keyboard, mouse, and anything else on your desk to aid in the ergonomic assessment.

* The chair you are using.

* Focus: This shot helps the ergonomist see your general setup and how you are centered at your desk during your workstation evaluation.

* Setup: Move the camera to your right side, about 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 is a crucial shot for your ergonomic assessment, as it allows for a comprehensive remote ergonomic evaluation of your posture, including your back, neck, arm, and leg angles, and how they interact with your equipment during your workstation evaluation.

* Setup: Repeat the process from Step 2, but position the camera on your left side for a thorough ergonomic assessment.

* What to Show: Same as the right side view to ensure consistency in your remote ergonomic evaluation.

* Focus: This provides a comprehensive view of your posture from both sides, which is useful for detecting any asymmetries during your workstation evaluation.

* Setup: Take a photo looking down at your keyboard and mouse from directly above your desk as part of your ergonomic assessment.

* What to Show:

* The placement of your keyboard and mouse on your desk for a proper workstation evaluation.

* Your hands and wrists resting on or near them, which is crucial for a remote ergonomic evaluation.

* Focus: This setup helps assess wrist position and potential strain points.

* Setup: For an effective ergonomic assessment, get down to floor level and take a photo that clearly shows your feet, the floor space under your desk, and how your legs fit. 

* What to Show: 

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

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

* How much space your knees and thighs have. 

* Focus: This is essential for a thorough workstation evaluation, especially when conducting a remote ergonomic evaluation to assess lower body support and potential circulation issues.

* Setup: Take a wide shot of your entire workstation, including the desk, chair, monitor, and surrounding environment, but without you in the picture for a comprehensive ergonomic assessment.

* What to Show:

* The complete setup of your desk for the remote ergonomic evaluation.

* Any other equipment or items in your immediate work area.

* The overall lighting conditions.

* Focus: This provides the ergonomist with a full picture of your workspace layout and environmental factors for an effective workstation evaluation.

* Lighting: Ensure good, even lighting for your workstation evaluation. Avoid strong backlighting that could silhouette you.

* Clarity: Make sure the photos you take during your ergonomic assessment are in focus and not blurry.

* File Size: Most ergonomists will have a preferred method for receiving photos for a remote ergonomic evaluation. If emailing, be mindful of file sizes and consider compressing them or using a file-sharing service.

* Number of Photos: Don't hesitate to take a few extra shots if you think they might be helpful for your ergonomic assessment, but prioritize the angles listed above.

Once you have these photos, you'll be ready to provide your ergonomist with the visual information they need for your remote ergonomic evaluation and ergonomic assessment, facilitating a comprehensive workstation evaluation!
