100% Vendor-Neutral
ErgonomicWorks sells no furniture or equipment and takes no hardware commissions. Our evaluations exist exclusively to protect your workforce, establish functional clearances, and provide legally defensible documentation for employers, risk managers, and insurance carriers.

Statutory Compliance
Defensible ergonomic evaluations aligned with Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 5110, California FEHA, and ADA Title I, documenting the ADA interactive process for employers, HR and EHS leaders, public agencies, and workers' compensation teams.

Defensible Reports in 3 to 5 Business Days
Written reports delivered within 3 to 5 business days post-assessment, with documented findings, identified risk factors, and prioritized, practical recommendations decision-makers can rely on.

Choose on-site when the claim is complex, contested, or needs hands-on measurement. Choose remote when it's a single workstation, early discomfort, or a distributed team.

Best for — On-site: Complex or contested claims; industrial & multi-workstation risk. Remote: Home/hybrid workers; single workstation; early discomfort.

What happens — On-site: In-person measurement, job-task & physical-demands review, hands-on adjustment. Remote: Structured video interview, workstation & posture review, equipment review.

Documentation — On-site: Full written report, forensic standard where required. Remote: Written report with recommendations.

Choose it when — On-site: Job analysis / essential-functions documentation is required. Remote: You need a faster first review across locations.

Joint Angle/Clearance Testing — On-site: Measured directly at the workstation by the consultant. Remote: Guided self-measurement, verified with photos and video.

Defensibility Level — On-site: Highest — first-hand measurement and observation for claims and legal review. Remote: High — documented measurements and imagery for accommodation and prevention cases.

Not sure? Request an evaluation and we will recommend the right format for the case — we will not sell you the more expensive option if remote will do the job properly.

How Much Does an Ergonomic Evaluation Cost in California?

Cost depends on the type of evaluation (preventive, workers' comp or forensic), on-site vs remote delivery, the number of workstations or job tasks, and the reporting your case requires — which is why we publish our pricing factors openly instead of hiding them behind a sales call.

Forensic and contested-claim evaluations cost more than a preventive single-workstation assessment because the documentation must stand up to review. HR, WC and risk teams can budget and get internal approval from our pricing factors and steps — no surprises.

"The cheapest evaluation is the one you only have to do once — documented properly, the first time." — Azi Imandel

Biomechanical Clearances and Anthropometric Standards (ANSI/HFES 100)

Every ErgonomicWorks workstation evaluation measures equipment adjustment against ANSI/HFES 100 standards to ensure proper physical accommodation:

Popliteal clearance — 2 to 3 inches between the seat pan waterfall edge and the posterior knee. Eliminates compression of the popliteal fossa and maintains lower-extremity circulation during prolonged sitting.

Elbow flexion — 90 to 105 degrees, on a neutral forearm/typing plane, without shoulder elevation. Maintains upper-extremity neutrality and minimizes static load on the trapezius and deltoid musculature.

Wrist posture (radiocarpal extension) — Below 15 degrees of extension. Minimizes pressure inside the carpal canal and reduces median nerve impingement risk.

Visual focal distance and display height — 20 to 30 inches to the primary display; top third of the monitor aligned with horizontal eye gaze. Reduces sustained neck flexion and eye strain.

Ulnar/radial deviation — 0 degrees.

Line-of-sight declination — 0 to 15 degrees.

These quantitative clearances are measured, calculated, and documented in every written report, ensuring that workplace modifications under Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 5110 or California FEHA rest on objective anthropometric data rather than subjective impressions.
