Overview

Why Ergonomic Assessment?

Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation requires employers to manage ergonomic risks regardless of whether employees work on-site or from home. With the rapid expansion of remote and hybrid work, ergonomic assessments have become a critical compliance step — yet traditional in-person assessments are expensive and impractical at scale.

Refchecks delivers ergonomic assessments digitally. Candidates upload photos of their workstation, and our AI system evaluates each area — chair height and lumbar support, desk height, monitor position, keyboard and mouse placement, lighting, and overall posture setup — against Australian WHS ergonomic guidelines.

Each category receives a traffic-light rating (compliant, marginal, or non-compliant), and an overall compliance score from 0 to 100 is generated. Employers receive a detailed report with specific recommendations for improvement, suitable for WHS record-keeping and risk management documentation.

What's Included

Ergonomic Assessment Features

AI Workstation Analysis

Computer vision evaluates workstation photos across multiple ergonomic categories: chair, desk, monitor, keyboard, lighting, and posture. No human reviewer required.

Category Traffic Lights

Each ergonomic category receives a compliant, marginal, or non-compliant rating. Candidates and employers see exactly where improvements are needed.

WHS Documentation

Reports are formatted for WHS record-keeping. Employers can demonstrate due diligence in managing ergonomic risk for remote workers.

Candidates complete the assessment from their actual work location — home office, co-working space, or mobile setup. No site visit required.

Actionable Recommendations

Every report includes specific, prioritised improvement recommendations. Candidates know exactly what to fix and why.

Process

How It Works

1

Candidate Receives Link

The employer sends the ergonomic assessment link to the candidate. The candidate accesses it from their actual work location.

2

Workstation Photos Uploaded

The candidate photographs their workspace from guided angles: side view, front view, and overhead view. The guided flow ensures all required areas are captured.

3

AI Analysis Runs

The AI evaluates each photo against ergonomic criteria: chair height, lumbar support, desk height, monitor distance and angle, keyboard position, lighting, and posture indicators.

4

Compliance Report Delivered

The employer receives a scored report (0–100) with traffic-light ratings per category and specific improvement recommendations within minutes of submission.
