GENERAL SAFETY

Ergonomics:
UC Davis has implemented a three tier system to provide help in setting up an ergonomically sound work station:

• Tier 1 - Individual self training using resources on EH&S website (including Safety Net #17), taking a EH&S class on ergonomics, or reviewing a CD titled: "Ergonomics – Setting up your Computer Workstation” that you can check out. Contact Dianne Louie or Tiva Lasiter to check out a copy of the CD.
• Tier 2 - Consultation with a trained supervisor in LAWR.
• Tier 3 - If you still have problems setting up a suitable work station, notify your supervisor and we will get an ergonomics expert from EH&S to consult with you.

Everyone must read the following Checklist and Resource Guide on Office Safety: Link
