Ergonomics

The SFU Ergonomics Program consists of an Ergonomics Policy, consultation on purchasing furniture and equipment, awareness training and workstation assessments. An Ergonomics Committee has been established to ensure that ergonomically correct office furniture and seating is purchased.

Workstation assessments

The WorksafeBC Regulation "Ergonomics Requirements: Part 4" requires that SFU assesses workstations and work activities.

EHRS conducts assessments and provides a report.  Supervisors are expected to follow up on recommendations.
