Virtual Ergonomic Evaluations in California

An independent, credentialed ergonomist. ErgonomicWorks' evaluations are directed by a Certified Ergonomics Associate (CEA) with leave-management and disability-management credentials (CLMS, CPDM), with zero equipment-sales bias.

The worker is photographed and filmed performing essential job tasks. The evaluator calculates joint angles, reach envelopes, and contact stress from that documentation and tests the claimed injury against the measured physical demands — corroborating or challenging its biological plausibility with objective data.

All evaluation requests undergo an initial intake triage to determine technical scope and scheduling parameters before confirmation. We assess claims involving neck pain, wrist pain, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and repetitive strain injuries across Los Angeles and statewide.

Book a Virtual Ergonomic Evaluation — $350

A virtual ergonomic evaluation is a full professional evaluation conducted by video. The consultant directs the employee through the same ANSI/HFES 100 measurements used on-site — seat depth, monitor distance and height, elbow and wrist angles — adjusts the setup live, and delivers a written report in 3 to 5 business days. ErgonomicWorks virtual evaluations are $350, run 45 to 60 minutes, and are available across California. They serve distributed and hybrid teams, remote-work accommodation cases, and follow-up verification without travel or scheduling delays. Full payment is due upon booking.

A workstation ergonomic evaluation measures the physical setup of a desk or work area — seat height and depth, desk and keyboard height, monitor distance and height, reach zones, and posture — against ANSI/HFES 100 criteria, then corrects the mismatch between the worker's body measurements and the workstation. The measured criteria include popliteal clearance of 2 to 3 inches behind the knee, elbow flexion of 90 to 105 degrees, forearm pronation under 30 degrees from the vertical resting angle, radiocarpal extension below 15 degrees, a visual focal distance of 20 to 30 inches, neutral ulnar/radial deviation of 0 degrees, and line-of-sight declination of 0 to 15 degrees. Adjustments are made or specified during the session; findings are documented in the written report.

ErgonomicWorks provides ergonomic evaluations across California, in person and virtually, from its Los Angeles hub. Virtual evaluations are $350 and in-person evaluations are $450, with a defensible written report in 3 to 5 business days. Evaluations are led by Azi Imandel, MS, CEA, SPHR, CLMS, CPDM, with 25+ years of experience. In-person sessions run 45 to 60 minutes at your workplace; virtual sessions cover the same ANSI/HFES 100 measurements by video. Full payment is due upon booking. Employers, HR and EHS teams, public agencies, and workers' compensation managers use the evaluations for prevention, accommodation, and claim documentation.

With two monitors, placement follows use: if one screen dominates, it sits directly ahead at 20 to 30 inches with the second angled beside it; if both are used equally, the pair is centered so the seam sits in front and neither screen forces sustained head rotation. Both screens share height (top at or slightly below eye level) and the same 20-to-30-inch focal distance, so the neck stays neutral and focal depth doesn't change as the eyes move.

A sit-stand evaluation measures both working heights against the same neutral criteria used seated: elbows 90–105° and wrists neutral at the desk in BOTH positions, monitor 20–30 inches with the top at or below eye level in both. The guidance is alternating postures and movement variability through the day — there is no magic sit-to-stand ratio; the correct pattern is the one that keeps joints neutral and positions changing.
