How a video workstation assessment works
Ask the employee to show their desk, chair, screen and keyboard from a couple of angles, then watch them work for a few minutes. Adjust what you can live, and write up the rest with photos or sketches. Follow up after two weeks.
Find the first clients
Start with businesses you already know: your patients' employers, local companies, your own suppliers. A free short talk can open the door to paid assessments. Workplace health and safety staff and HR managers are the people to reach. See building a referral network.
Price it for business
Quote per assessment, per talk, or a package for a team. Businesses expect a written quote and an invoice in their name.
Keep it professional
Stay within your scope, write clear and practical reports, and keep records. Where an employee has symptoms, recommend a proper assessment. Check that your insurance covers consulting work.
Turn it into regular work
A yearly program of assessments for new starters and a refresher talk gives steady income. See paid online workshops.
Consulting is one of several ways to add income beside your caseload. See a second income stream and earning online as a physio.
