Ergonomic Worksite

Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job and the work environment to the worker.

Risk Management, in coordination with LU Human Resources, has online ergonomic training available and is able to advise employees about adjustments they can make to help reduce injury on the job.

• Ergonomic training includes the evaluation of work areas and how simple adjustments to these can result in improved ergonomic conditions:
  • office setting illumination
  • noise levels
  • workstation setup
• Recommendations are given to help improve an uncomfortable work situation
• Training includes a discussion about repetitive motion
• Ergonomic training is available at the department’s request, and training sessions are given throughout the year
• Call the Safety Program Manager at (434) 592-4846 to request ergonomic training
