A workstation evaluation is an ergonomic assessment involving an analysis of an employee at their workstation to help facilitate optimal working postures, ergonomic work practices, and correct workstation set-up. A workstation evaluation is often requested by an employee reporting pain or discomfort believed to be related to workstation ergonomics.<\/p>\n
In an effort to ensure employees are provided training and guidance on ergonomic standards, an online course is available and can be accessed at GetSafetyTrained.com. This online course walks employees through a computer workstation ergonomic self-evaluation, teaching them how to make the adjustments needed to ensure the correct neutral posture. Often times, completing this self-evaluation course provides the employee with all the information they require to ensure proper ergonomic standards are achieved, thereby alleviating pain or discomfort.<\/p>\n
Employees who continue to experience pain or discomfort after completing the online course and making the recommended adjustments, can request a personalized workstation evaluation by completing the Workstation Evaluation Request Form available through the link below. Once the request form is received by Human Resources, an in-person workstation evaluation will be scheduled. At the completion of the evaluation the evaluator will submit a report to Human Resources who will then work with the employee\u2019s supervisor to ensure any recommended workstation changes, if any, occur.<\/p>\n
Occasionally despite our best efforts, employees continue to experience pain and discomfort after the in-person workstation evaluation. Should this occur, employees should contact Human Resources at Ext. 661-636-4747 to discuss the next steps.<\/p>\n
