Ergonomics is the study of work and the efficiency and safety of the human-machine system. Ergonomics removes barriers to quality, productivity, and safe human performance by fitting products, tasks, and environments to people.
EHS employs a part-time consulting ergonomist in order to assist the campus community with ergonomic issues, testing, worksite evaluation, job analysis, and the like. Contact EHS for assistance.
