NYC On-Site Desk Assessments

A Single Carpal Tunnel Work Comp Claim is Too Many

Most carpal tunnel and MSD claims are preventable. A professional desk assessment — with documentation your carrier can actually use — is the intervention that HR and Risk Managers need.

Who We Work With

Built for the People Who Manage Workplace Risk

ZenErgo assessments are particularly valuable for:

✦HR Managers and Directors of Human Resources — managing workers' comp claim frequency, OSHA 300 log exposure, and the documentation burden that comes with every MSD claim.
✦Risk Managers — building a proactive compliance record, preparing for WC renewals, and reducing the MSD claims that drive e-mod increases.
✦Law Firm Administrators and Office Managers — protecting a desk-heavy support staff workforce and keeping the firm running without the disruption of an injured paralegal or secretary.
✦Insurance Companies and Brokerages — for their own high-risk clerical workforce, and as a documented loss-control resource for commercial accounts.

How It Works

From Booking to Report

Schedule

Choose your assessment level and contact us to book. We serve all NYC boroughs and can accommodate businesses of all sizes

Email Questionnaire

Each employee receives a pre-evaluation questionnaire by email to detail equipment used, work habits, and any areas of discomfort.

On-Site Visit

Dr. Rabin comes to the office and conducts a thorough, in-person evaluation of your employee's workspace and makes equipment adjustments when needed.

Analysis

Findings are reviewed and synthesized using decades of clinical knowledge to produce meaningful, actionable recommendations.

Comprehensive Report

You receive a detailed written report with specific equipment, positioning, and behavioral recommendations you can act on immediately. Reports are structured to support HR documentation requirements, workers' comp claim files, and good-faith compliance records — not just to sit in a drawer.

Zero disruption to your team. Assessments are completed in a single on-site visit with no operational disruption. Dr. Rabin works around your schedule and your staff's workday.

Why Documentation Matters

The Assessment Is Half the Value. The Report Is the Other Half.

A professional desk assessment isn't just about fixing chair height. It's about having documentation in place before a claim is filed — the kind that demonstrates proactive, good-faith intervention to your carrier, your legal team, and OSHA if it ever comes to that.

ZenErgo reports are written by a clinician who has spent more than 20 years reading the claims files that result when this documentation doesn't exist. That perspective shapes every report we produce.

"I've spent more than 20 years on the other side of these claims — reviewing files, assessing causation, watching what happens when there's no documentation and no prior intervention. That's exactly the situation a good assessment prevents." — Edwin Rabin, DC, CEAS I, AOEAS

About

Ergonomic Risk Mitigation for New York City Law Firms, Financial, and Insurance Services, as well as Small Business

Most ergonomic consultants approach a workstation from a comfort standpoint. Dr. Rabin approaches it from a claims standpoint — because he spent more than 20 years reviewing the MSD claims that result when workstations are wrong.

That means the assessment you receive is designed not just to reduce discomfort, but to produce documentation that holds up: for your HR files, for your carrier, and for your legal team if it ever comes to that.

For HR managers and risk managers: ZenErgo assessments produce written reports designed to support proactive compliance, workers' comp defense, and General Duty Clause documentation. If you're managing MSD claim frequency or preparing for a WC renewal, that distinction matters.
