Procedures for Reporting Ergonomics Problems


Staff members who experience ergonomic problems should work with their supervisors and with the Ergonomics Coordinator or Committee member responsible for their section to identify and resolve the problem. They should consult the blue card "Ergonomics and VDT Use" as well as a copy of the Ergonomics Literature notebook. Staff members and supervisors not represented by a coordinator or committee member should contact the chair of the Ergonomics Committee . The blue cards may be ordered from the Supply Room using the title in place of a stock number. All Committee members and Coordinators have a copy of the notebook.

For any 'grey areas' or problems we cannot resolve, the chair of the Ergonomics Committee will contact the Health and Safety Office for assistance.

This procedure does not substitute for a formal claim through the Personnel Department for anyone who sustains an injury.

Note: This memo was sent to Management Committee, Nancy Long (Human Resources), Veronica Ghetie (Environmental Health and Safety Office) and Ergonomics Committee members and Coordinators on March 9, 1994.
