Office Ergo Calculator

The Office Ergonomics Calculator was designed to highlight areas of improvement between you and your workstation.

Ensuring the proper height of your chair and workstation equipment is important in improving comfort and potentially reducing the risk of injury.

The office ergonomics calculator is not an ergonomic assessment, but rather a tool to indicate areas where improvement may be needed. For more information about office ergonomics, click here for OHCOW’s Office Ergonomics Reference Guide.
