OFFICE ERGONOMICS

We sometimes spend significant amounts of time sitting in front of a computer as part of our work day. It is important to know how to set up a safe and comfortable workstation and the types of good work practices that should be used to prevent or minimize injury and discomfort. Humber’s Occupational Health & Safety website has several resources to assist you.

Take the time this February to ensure that your computer workstation is safely and ergonomically set up: 

• Complete the Office Ergonomics Self-Assessment Checklist to determine if your computer workstation is properly adjusted.

• For additional guidance and information, check out the following links:
  • Keyboard and Mouse

  • Computer Monitor
  • Lighting
  • Workstation Organization and Task Design
  • ​Accessories

• Watch this video on how to adjust your office chair

• Attend one of our upcoming office ergonomics awareness training session. Classes are being offered at North Campus on February 25 and at Lakeshore Campus on February 26. Contact healthandsafety@humber.ca if you are interested in participating.
