What Level of Onsite Office Ergonomic Assessment Do I Need?
Depending on your ergonomic needs, we offer 2 types of Onsite Office ergonomic assessments:
- Level 1 – Walk Through. A basic ergonomic process to ensure proper positioning at workstation(s) using adjustments to already provided equipment and education to employees about posture, repetition, duration, and force risk factors. About 30 minutes to complete per person with no report.
- Level 2 – Recommended for somebody experiencing pain but continues to work. Involves a thorough Ergonomic Assessment and followed by a detailed report. Usually 45 – 60 minutes one on one time onsite plus additional time for report writing. Steps in this level 2 assessment process include:
- Assessing the problem(s), which includes: a brief interview followed by task observation, desk measurements, and anthropometric measurements.
- Educating the worker on ergonomic principals and appropriate stretching.
- Making necessary on site changes/recommendations.

- An assessment report (3-4 pages) is completed and forwarded to the worker and employer. The report will identify what was done by the therapist during the visit, further action plans for the worker, action plans for the employer, and any recommended equipment or furniture (which will include suppliers of where to obtain the equipment).
