Home Workspace Ergonomics Assessment

Transform Your Home Office with Proper Ergonomics

Working from home has become the new normal for millions of people, but an uncomfortable or poorly designed workspace can lead to chronic pain, fatigue, and decreased productivity. This Home Workspace Ergonomics Assessment helps you evaluate every aspect of your home office setup—from desk height and monitor position to lighting quality and chair support.

Why Ergonomics Matter for Remote Workers

Whether you're a freelancer, remote employee, or entrepreneur, spending hours at a poorly configured desk can cause neck strain, back pain, eye fatigue, and repetitive stress injuries. A proper ergonomic assessment identifies problem areas before they become chronic issues, helping you work comfortably and efficiently.

What This Template Covers

This comprehensive form guides you through:

• Desk setup measurements including height, depth, and surface space
• Chair evaluation covering lumbar support, armrests, and adjustability
• Monitor and screen positioning to reduce eye strain and neck pain
• Keyboard and mouse placement for optimal wrist alignment
• Lighting assessment analyzing natural light, task lighting, and screen glare
• Equipment inventory documenting all your workspace tools
• Comfort ratings across different body areas and time periods
• Pain and discomfort tracking to identify problem zones
