Ergonomics help WSU employees keep work comfortable
PULLMAN, Wash. – Eight-hour days in an office environment can be grueling, depending on the job and how it is approached.
Sitting in the same chair all day can result in a stiff back and legs, as well as a feeling of exhaustion. However, those symptoms can be alleviated easily through the use of ergonomics.
Ergonomics is defined as assessing work-related factors that might pose a risk of musculoskeletal disorders, and providing recommendations to alleviate them, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It is a science that helps fit the workplace conditions to the needs of the worker and of the worker’s body.
Essentially, it’s about making an employee as comfortable as possible.

Ed Havey, the previous Occupational Health and Safety Manager, has helped more than 800 Washington State University employees improve their workplace during his time here. He was the resident ergonomist, helping design work spaces that reduce injury and stress, before his departure in May.
