The office of Safety and Risk Management (SRM) performs ergonomic assessments at workstations to ensure safe and healthy postures while working.

Ergonomic assessments and training are designed to analyze and evaluate an employee鈥檚 workspace, equipment, body mechanics, posture, and workflow to promote a more efficient and productive worker. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to make a job the most comfortable for the individual performing it to reduce the risk of developing a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). MSDs are conditions that can develop over time, causing pain or injury to muscles, nerves, tendons, and joints. Neutral posture is a comfortable body position in which your joints are aligned. Working with a neutral body posture reduces muscle strain and stress. Learn about some potential solutions for discomfort in the office.

Before scheduling an ergonomic evaluation, personnel must complete the 鈥淥ffice Ergonomics鈥� training through CSU Learn.
