What We Do
Three integrated service offerings, designed to be deployed individually or as a unified program.
On-Site Ergonomic Assessments
Our certified ergonomists conduct on-site assessments at your San Diego facility, evaluating workstations, postures, equipment, and job functions in person. Each assessment produces a comprehensive report with photographs, specific equipment recommendations, and prioritized action steps.
- Individual employee assessments for active discomfort or returning Workers’ Compensation cases
- Group assessments for departments, floors, or specific job functions
- Pre-injury assessments to identify and remediate risk before claims develop
- Pre-renovation assessments to inform space planning and equipment specification
Virtual Ergonomic Assessments
Virtual assessments delivered remotely for distributed, hybrid, or home office populations anywhere in the United States. Conducted by certified ergonomists with full-resolution video walkthroughs of the actual workstation, not employee self-assessment surveys.
- Home office and remote worker assessments
- Hybrid employee assessments covering both home and corporate workstations
- New-hire onboarding assessments delivered before discomfort develops
- Reassessment after employee moves, role changes, or equipment changes
Turnkey Corporate Ergonomic Programs
For organizations that need ergonomic support delivered at scale, Pacific Ergonomics designs and operates the entire program end to end. Assessment, equipment specification, procurement, installation, training, follow-up, and ongoing reassessment, all run through a single integrated infrastructure with visibility for EHS, HR, and procurement.
- Program design tailored to the size, geography, and risk profile of your workforce
- Curated equipment catalogs vetted by certified ergonomists
- White-glove installation across the United States
- Personalized training delivered just in time, not as a generic compliance module
- Reporting infrastructure that holds up under audit and Workers’ Compensation review
Try Before You Standardize: The San Diego Ergonomic Showroom
Most ergonomic consultants recommend products you have never seen. Most product specialists sell without ergonomic guidance. Pacific Ergonomics has both, in one place. Our showroom in the historic district of Escondido lets your team sit in chairs of different sizes, test sit-stand desks at different heights, evaluate monitor arms with different ranges of motion, and physically experience the products before they become a corporate standard.
This is critical because ergonomic equipment that fits a 5’2″ employee is rarely the same equipment that fits a 6’4″ employee. A chair specified without reference to the bodies it will support is not an ergonomic decision. It is a guess. The showroom lets your buying committee evaluate the actual size, fit, and adjustability of the products before you commit to them at scale.
For companies building a curated ergonomic catalog or rolling out a corporate standards program across multiple sites, the showroom turns specification from a guess into a defensible decision. Bring your EHS, HR, and procurement teams in together, evaluate options side by side, and walk out with a standards list informed by both ergonomic expertise and direct product experience across body types.
How It Works
A defined process, defined timing, and defined ownership at every stage. The process is the program.
Discovery and program design
We begin with a 30-minute conversation to understand your workforce, your current state, and your goals. For larger programs, this expands into a full discovery engagement that produces a written program design before any assessments are conducted.
Assessment
Certified ergonomists conduct assessments on-site, virtually, or in a combination of both, depending on the workforce. Each assessment produces a documented report with risk findings, equipment recommendations, and prioritized action steps.
Specification and procurement
Recommendations move into a curated equipment catalog with predictable pricing, defensible warranties, and consistent supply. Procurement is integrated with the assessment, not handed off to a separate team that has to re-specify everything.
Installation and validation
Professional installers assemble, calibrate, and validate every workstation against the assessment recommendations. The employee never lifts a box, never references an assembly diagram, and never wonders whether the equipment is set up correctly.
Training and follow-up
Personalized training delivered to each employee based on their actual workstation and assessment findings. Follow-up confirms the equipment is being used correctly and the discomfort has resolved.
Reassessment and program management
Annual reassessment is the default. Triggered reassessment handles moves, role changes, and new discomfort reports. Leadership receives ongoing visibility into program metrics and outcomes.
Who We Work With in San Diego
Pacific Ergonomics serves a wide range of organizations across San Diego and Southern California. Our typical clients fall into seven categories.
- Healthcare systems, where ergonomic risk in clinical, administrative, and lab environments creates Workers’ Compensation exposure that compounds quickly
- Biotech and pharmaceutical companies, where laboratory ergonomics, microscopy stations, hood work, and pipetting create chronic risk that requires laboratory ergonomic assessment services specifically
- Defense contractors and federal agencies, supported through GSA, CMAS, Omnia Partners, Sourcewell, and TIPS contract vehicles
- California state agencies and higher education institutions, including the California State University system
- Technology and Fortune 500 employers with significant remote and hybrid populations
- Manufacturing and industrial facilities where ergonomic risk is concentrated in repetitive task analysis and workstation design
- Non-profits and mission-driven organizations where ergonomic budgets are tight and the cost of a single Workers’ Compensation claim can affect the whole organization

Why Pacific Ergonomics
Most ergonomic firms identify risk. Pacific Ergonomics is built around solving it consistently, at scale, with operational discipline.
Founded by Kirstie Anne Berzanski, a Certified Workplace Wellness Human Factors Consultant with more than 25 years of experience as an executive and entrepreneur across 18+ industries, Pacific Ergonomics is structured to solve the problem most companies do not realize they have. Their corporate ergonomic spend is being absorbed by gaps in the program, not by the work itself.
The firm operates ergonomic consulting, assessments, equipment specification, procurement, installation, and program management as a single integrated discipline. A San Diego company starting a corporate ergonomic program gets a curated catalog of products that have been physically tested in our showroom. A company responding to a Workers’ Compensation case gets the assessment, the equipment, and the installation through one point of accountability. One vendor. One process. One point of accountability.
For organizations evaluating a broader strategic approach to corporate ergonomic programs, see our ergonomic consulting services in San Diego for the firm-level thesis, philosophy, and approach.
Finding Risk Is the Easy Part. Solving It Is the Difference.
Most ergonomists can identify risk. Far fewer can solve it. The gap between assessment and solution is where most ergonomic programs lose their value.
A typical ergonomic assessment ends with a report and a list of recommendations. The ergonomist leaves. The company is left to figure out what to buy, where to source it, how to compare competing products, and whether the equipment will actually deliver on what the assessment recommended. Most of the time, the connection breaks at exactly that handoff.
Pacific Ergonomics is built differently. Our team holds deep product ergonomic expertise, meaning we do not stop at identifying risk. We solve it with best-of-class ergonomic products that we have evaluated, tested, and stand behind. The same firm that diagnoses the problem also engineers the solution.
The Test Lab and Showroom
Behind every recommendation we make is a real test lab. Before any product enters our curated catalog, our team physically evaluates it: how it adjusts, how it fits different body types, how it performs over hours of use, how the assembly works, and whether the warranty and durability claims hold up. The products that fail testing do not get recommended. The products that pass become part of the curated standard we offer to clients.
Our team brings 8 to 25+ years of professional ergonomic experience and industry credentials to match. But the credentials are not the differentiator. The differentiator is what those credentials are paired with: the practical product knowledge to translate ergonomic recommendations into specific, defensible product selections that actually solve the risk we identified.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an ergonomic assessment in San Diego cost?
Pricing depends on the type and depth of assessment. Single-employee assessments are priced individually. Corporate programs are priced based on workforce size, scope, and whether on-site, virtual, or both. Contact Pacific Ergonomics directly for a quote tailored to your situation.
How long does an on-site ergonomic assessment take?
A typical on-site individual ergonomic assessment takes 45 to 60 minutes per employee, including the evaluation, photographs, and discussion of recommendations. Group assessments and full-floor evaluations are scheduled in advance based on the number of workstations.
Can you do ergonomic assessments outside of San Diego?
Yes. While Pacific Ergonomics is headquartered in San Diego County, we conduct on-site assessments throughout Southern California, including Orange County and Los Angeles, and we deliver virtual ergonomic assessments to distributed workforces anywhere in the United States. Our installation network supports nationwide deployment for corporate programs.
Do you work with government agencies?
Yes. Pacific Ergonomics is a Certified Woman-Owned Small Business and supports federal, state, and local government clients through GSA, CMAS, Omnia Partners, Sourcewell, and TIPS contract vehicles. We have extensive experience with the procurement requirements of California state agencies, federal departments, and military and defense contractor clients.
Can our team visit the showroom?
Yes, by appointment. The Pacific Ergonomics showroom is located in the historic district of Escondido, just outside San Diego. Companies building a curated ergonomic catalog or rolling out an ergonomic standards program frequently bring their EHS, HR, and procurement teams in to evaluate products together. Call 619-546-0872 to schedule.
What is the difference between an ergonomic assessment and an ergonomic program?
An ergonomic assessment is a single evaluation of one workstation. An ergonomic program is the operational infrastructure that handles assessments at scale, plus equipment specification, procurement, installation, training, follow-up, and ongoing reassessment as employees, roles, and environments change. Most organizations need a program, not a series of disconnected assessments.
Ready to Build a Real Ergonomic Program?
Whether you need a single ergonomic assessment, a full corporate program for hundreds of employees, or ongoing ergonomic support for a distributed workforce, Pacific Ergonomics designs and operates the program end to end.
