Ergonomic risk is not one-size-fits-all. Longitude6 helps organizations select the right combination of video analysis, wearable sensors, office technology, job-demand information and expert support.
Ergonomic risk is not one-size-fits-all.
Choose the assessment method based on the work, environment and question you are trying to answer.
Assessment strategy
Start with the ergonomic question, then choose the tool.
Some tasks are easy to capture on video. Others involve movement through large environments. Office work requires a different workflow again. The strongest program uses the method that fits the exposure being assessed.
Video / Computer Vision
Useful when tasks can be captured clearly and teams want scalable, repeatable posture and movement analysis.
Explore Computer VisionWearable Sensors
Useful when work is mobile, complex or difficult to understand from a single camera angle.
Explore WearablesOffice Ergonomics
Digital workflows can scale ergonomic support across onsite, hybrid and remote office populations.
Explore Office ErgonomicsHow it works
From screening to targeted intervention.
Define the task
Identify the job, process or workstation that needs ergonomic review.
Select the method
Choose video, sensors, office assessment or a deeper professional review.
Understand the exposure
Use objective information and professional context to identify priority factors.
Change & reassess
Modify tools, layout, workflow or task design and measure again where appropriate.
What to evaluate
Ergonomics is about the interaction between worker, task and environment.
Posture & movement
Bending, reaching, overhead work, low-level work and sustained positions.
Force & handling
Lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, grip and other force requirements.
Repetition & duration
How often movements occur, how long positions are held and how demands accumulate.
Workstation layout
Heights, reaches, equipment position and space constraints.
Task context
Job frequency, work sequence, tools, process and environmental conditions.
Intervention impact
Whether changes meaningfully alter the exposure or way the task is performed.
Connected Technology
The right technology for the right question.
Use the assessment method that fits the work, then connect the insight with the rest of your workplace health program.
Office Ergonomics
Self-guided workstation assessments for home, hybrid and office environments.
Digital Job Task Analysis
Build current, usable job-demand information to add context to ergonomic findings.
