Ergonomics Education
Ergonomics is the study of the relationship between people, their work, and their physical work environment. The purpose of USF's Ergonomics Program is to promote employee health by limiting ergonomic risk factors. Together with our ergonomic partners, Lacuna Ergonomic and Travelers, we provide best practices for workplace ergonomics.
All employees are encouraged to conduct an ergonomic self-assessment to ensure their workstation is properly adjusted. Also, check out the resources below for additional information on maintaining a healthy workspace.
For any Ergonomic-related questions or concerns, contact us at ergo@usfca.edu.
