Office ergonomics

As we set up our new offices in Williamson Hall, it’s a good reminder to check out the office ergonomics resources offered by the University. Our work often involves heavy use of computers, including typing, mousing, and data entry. Such work can lead to disabling injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and neck and back strain. For this reason, the University provides assistance in evaluating and modifying physical workstations to reduce the risk of injury. In-person evaluations are available, as well as self-assessments and distance evaluations. You can also visit the showroom in Boynton Health Service to try out different equipment.
