Update Ergonomics Website - Overview of the Ergonomic Evaluation Process
When an employee requests an ergonomic evaluation, our business partner from iHealth 360 schedules and appointment with the employee and will send an ergonomist to campus to assess the workstation. An evaluation assessment report is produced with copies sent to the employee, their supervisor and Enterprise Risk Management.
If the report includes recommendations for specific workstation equipment, it is the department’s responsibility to determine whether to fund and purchase the recommended items. (Note: The equipment remains the property of the department making the purchase).
Enterprise Risk Management provides an Ergonomic Matching Fund Program, to help encourage the purchase of ergonomic equipment. The Program provides matching funds of 50% of the purchase price for recommended equipment to the purchasing department, up to $250 per employee.
Faculty and staff with permanent disabilities are encouraged to contact Human Resources Employee Accommodation Services. Employee Accommodation Services to provide employee reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities.

Also, faculty and staff with active workers' compensation claims should contact Interim Assistant of Workers' Compensation, Jeannette Warren.
