How We Work With You
To Proceed with Your Ergonomic Evaluation:
Please complete all required forms and include a clear photo of your current workstation setup. Once completed, email the materials to info@ergonomicworks.com.
Your evaluation will begin once we receive your documents and the deposit has been processed.
Taking Photos for Your Remote Ergonomic Evaluation
To get the most accurate remote ergonomic evaluation, your ergonomist will need clear, well-lit photos of your workstation from specific angles. Follow these steps to ensure you capture all the necessary details.
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)
Preparation Steps
* Clean Up Your Workspace: Remove any clutter that might obstruct the view of your equipment or posture.
* Wear Typical Work Attire: Dress in clothes you would normally wear while working to ensure your posture isn't artificially altered.
* 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. The goal is to capture your actual working posture.
Photo Angles and Instructions
For each photo, ensure your entire body (from head to toe) and the full workstation are visible. If possible, have someone else take the photos for you. If not, use a tripod and a timer.
1. Full Body Front View
* Setup: Position the camera directly in front of you, about 6-10 feet away, ensuring you and your entire workstation are in the frame.
* What to Show:
* Your full body from head to toe.
* Your computer monitor, keyboard, mouse, and anything else on your desk.
* The chair you are using.
* Focus: This shot helps the ergonomist see your general setup and how you are centered at your desk.
2. Full Body Side View (Right Side)
* 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 evaluating your posture, including your back, neck, arm, and leg angles, and how they interact with your equipment.
3. Full Body Side View (Left Side) - Optional but Recommended
* Setup: Repeat the process from Step 2, but position the camera on your left side.
* What to Show: Same as the right side view.
* Focus: Provides a comprehensive view of your posture from both sides, useful for detecting
any asymmetries.
4. Close-Up of Keyboard and Mouse Placement
* Setup: Take a photo looking down at your keyboard and mouse from directly above your desk.
* What to Show:
* The placement of your keyboard and mouse on your desk.
* Your hands and wrists resting on or near them.
* Focus: Helps assess wrist position and potential strain points.
5. Close-Up of Feet and Leg Room
* Setup: 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 a footrest?).
* Any obstructions under your desk (e.g., computer tower, drawers).
* How much space your knees and thighs have.
* Focus: Essential for evaluating lower body support and potential circulation issues.
6. Overall Workstation View (No Person)
* Setup: Take a wide shot of your entire workstation, including the desk, chair, monitor, and surrounding environment, but without you in the picture.
* What to Show:
* The complete setup of your desk.
* Any other equipment or items in your immediate work area.
* The overall lighting conditions.
* Focus: Gives the ergonomist a full picture of your workspace layout and environmental factors.
Photo Tips:
* Lighting: Ensure good, even lighting. Avoid strong backlighting that could silhouette you.
* Clarity: Make sure photos are in focus and not blurry.
* File Size: Most ergonomists will have a preferred method for receiving photos. If emailing, be mindful of file sizes. You may need to compress them or use a file-sharing service.
* Number of Photos: Don't be afraid to take a few extra shots if you think they might be helpful, 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 evaluation!
