Office Workspace Ergonomics Assessment ( ADMIN )

This checklist is designed to assess and ensure the ergonomic setup of workspaces to promote employee health and productivity by preventing injuries related to poor workstation design.

• Check Chair Height Adjustment

  Ensure the chair height can be adjusted so that the feet rest flat on the ground.

• Assess Monitor Position

  Verify that the monitor is at eye level and about an arm's length away to reduce eye strain.

• Evaluate Keyboard and Mouse Placement

  Check that the keyboard and mouse are positioned to allow the arms to be at a 90-degree angle and wrists straight.

• Adjust Desk Height

  Ensure the desk height allows for an ergonomic posture, where the elbows are at 90 degrees when typing.

• Review Lighting Conditions

  Assess whether the workspace is adequately lit to minimize glare and eye strain.

• Check for Foot Support

  Determine if the employee has a footrest if their feet do not comfortably touch the ground.

• Ensure Sufficient Space

  Make sure there is enough space under the desk to allow for movement and foot placement.

• Evaluate Overall Comfort

  Ask the employee about their comfort level and any adjustments they feel are necessary.
