Workplace Ergonomics Assessment

Any Calgary organization that relies on people working at desks, screens, or shared stations will benefit from a professional ergonomic review. Whether you run a compact downtown office, a multi-floor corporate suite, or a hybrid team spread across home and shared workspaces, the same risks apply: poor posture, misaligned monitors, and inadequate lighting quietly erode comfort and focus.

We work with office managers, HR leads, health-and-safety coordinators, and business owners who want a factual picture of their workspace rather than a generic checklist. If you have noticed rising complaints about back pain, eye strain, or fatigue, or if you are planning a fit-out and want to get it right from the start, this assessment is the right starting point.

Our consultants spend one to two days on site, moving through every workstation, meeting room, and shared area. We measure reach zones, observe posture during real tasks, evaluate monitor height and distance, and record lighting levels and glare sources. Each employee role is considered individually, because a receptionist's needs differ from those of a drafter or a call-centre agent.

Remote and hybrid workers are not left out. We offer a structured remote assessment using a guided self-survey and a video call walk-through of the home workspace. A written report with specific recommendations follows within three business days, so off-site staff receive the same standard of care as those in the office.

Before we arrive, we ask you to share a floor plan and a list of roles so we can plan our time efficiently. On site, we observe and measure without disrupting your team's work. We photograph problem areas for reference and note any immediate risks that should be addressed before the full report is ready.

Within five business days of completing the on-site work, you receive a written report with findings ranked by priority. Recommendations are product-neutral: we describe the functional requirement — seat height range, lumbar support depth, monitor arm reach — so you can source equipment from any supplier that meets the standard. A follow-up site visit is included to confirm that changes have been implemented correctly.

A report sitting in an inbox changes nothing on its own. That is why every engagement includes a staff briefing session where we walk your team through the key findings and explain the reasoning behind each recommendation. When people understand why a chair height or screen angle matters, they are far more likely to maintain good habits after we leave.

The briefing is practical and conversational, not a lecture. We answer questions from the people who actually use the space, which often surfaces additional details that sharpen the recommendations. Managers and health-and-safety leads are welcome to attend alongside frontline staff.

A little preparation makes the assessment run smoothly and ensures every finding is accurate. Ask employees to set up their workstations exactly as they use them day to day — not tidied up for a visitor. Genuine working conditions reveal the real posture habits and equipment gaps that need addressing.

If you have existing furniture specifications, previous ergonomic reports, or incident records related to musculoskeletal complaints, share them with us beforehand. This context helps us focus our time on the areas of greatest need and avoids duplicating work that has already been done well.

Pastor Chairs Consulting was founded in Calgary by people who know this city's buildings — the older downtown offices with low ceilings and fixed lighting grids, the newer business-park fit-outs, the converted heritage spaces. That local knowledge shapes how we approach each assessment, because the constraints of a building matter as much as the furniture inside it.

We are not a national firm parachuting in with a standardized template. We are neighbours who understand the character of Calgary workplaces and the communities they serve. Our advice is grounded in what is actually achievable in your space, your budget context, and your team's daily reality.
