Ergonomics is the study of the
relationship between people, their work, and their physical work
environment. The major goal of ergonomics is to fit the job to
the individual.
The purpose of Lansing Community College’s Ergonomics Program is to
prevent the pain and suffering, as well as the institutional costs,
associated with ergonomic-related injuries. This is done
through a combination of employee training, evaluation of
workstations and work practices, and implementation of ergonomics
control strategies. Questions regarding this program should be
directed to the College Safety Officer Paul Pirrotta at (517)483-1806.
If you have suffered an ergonomic injury OR if you have been suffering from early
symptoms of ergonomic injury such as:
-
Reoccurring or continuous pain/ discomfort
-
Redness and swelling
-
Limited range of motion
-
Numbness or tingling sensation
-
Decreasing hand grip strength
You should:
-
Report the symptoms or injury to your supervisor.
-
Report your symptoms or injury to Police and Public Safety at
(517)483-1800.
