Your Privacy is Important to Us

A remote ergonomic assessment/evaluation will be completed using distance technology, typically computers, when the consultant and client are not in the same physical location. In-person assessments will NOT involve using internet-based programs, such as Zoom, for recordings, but our privacy and security efforts as stated below will also be applicable.

Potential Benefits:

  1. Improve posture, habits, and productivity to prevent injury by adjusting your workstation setup.

  2. Reduce cancellations due to a minor illness, or provider minor illness. (remote only)

  3. Reduce cancellations due to weather. (remote only)

  4. Provide an opportunity for business owners and employees to learn from recordings of sessions.

  5. Save program costs associated with travel to your place of business. (remote only)

Potential Risks:

We want to make sure you understand that your privacy is important to us and that your information will be secure. As with any service, there may be potential risks associated with the use of remote assessments. These risks include, but may not be limited to:

  1. The internet connection used may not be sufficient (e.g., poor picture or sound quality, dropped connections, or audio interference) to allow for effective interaction.

  2. The computer must be stored in a safe place to prevent damage.

  3. Security protocols of the internet-based programs could fail, causing a breach of privacy of confidential information.
