How to provide and upload measurements and images for your assessment

Providing us with measurements and information about your workstation is important to ensure an effective assessment. Please ask a colleague to support you to take accurate measurements. If a colleague is not available, you can take measurements at home with some assistance whilst sat on a firm dining room chair.

Make sure that you use a metal tape measure similar to this one. The ruler should not bend around the body when measuring.

Entering Your Measurements

The first measurements we need are your weight and height. We need these to identify the correct chair from you. Please indicate whether your weight is in kg or stone and pounds (e.g. 85kg or 13st 5lb).

We also need to know whether you need arms on your chair or not.
It’s also important for us to know the shape of desk that you use.

There are 7 distance measurements we need related to you and your chair
