Beginning in March 2020, the practices of remote work, remote healthcare and remote education went from luxury to necessity. Suddenly, millions of people worldwide woke up to a new reality – that they would be working from home offices for the foreseeable future.

As with any seismic shift in our reality, this abrupt change in the way we do things brought challenges and opportunities. We choose to acknowledge – and note duly – the former, then concentrate on the latter.

Ergo-Eval offers remote virtual ergonomic assessment by using tele-health technology. We recognize that employers require safe solutions for their employees. As we move forward, life and work environments have changed. We recommend a designated work space within your home, by conducting the virtual assessment this will allow us to provide you with the ultimate ergonomic equipment, that offers the employer and employee a long-term step in the right direction.

Even when the workplace is in a designated area in an employee's home, the employer retains some degree of control over the conditions of the "work at home" agreement. An important factor in the development of these arrangements is to ensure that employees are not exposed to reasonably foreseeable hazards created by their at-home employment. Ensuring safe and healthful working conditions for the employee should be a precondition for any home-based work assignments

Our virtual remote ergonomic assessment and consultation process includes completion of an OSHA - compliant checklist with personalized recommendations and modifications for each employee, coupled with reviewing digital photos provided by the worker and is performed by Abbe Hausner, a certified ergonomic specialist.

The Desk Shield is available from Ergo-Eval.
