Abstract
COVID-19 required ergonomists to provide virtual office ergonomics assessments. We responded by developing an assessment process as close to our in-person assessment process as possible to ensure that the quality of the report and recommendations was not comprised. We have found success in using pre-recorded videos and video chat to capture key information about an employee’s home office environment, make adjustments to the employee’s workstation, and provide sound recommendations for improvement.
