OFFICE ERGONOMICS

Does your workstation feel awkward or uncomfortable? You are welcome to attend one of the office ergonomics workshops offered each month by campus Safety and Risk Management (SRM). These workshops cover repetitive motion injury, proper chair adjustment, computer set-up etc. and are designed to provide the attendees with the information necessary to perform their own work station evaluation. Call SRM for dates ({562}985-2366), or go to the SRM website” and click on “Training Calendar”. Please note, if you purchase a new office chair, try to order ALL the adjustments available as that chair may be around for a very long time and may serve more than one person.  If you intend to purchase office furniture from the “Humanscale” company, the University does have a Humanscale representative, Chrstina Hagan (213) 439-9050 Ext. 1012.
