All workspaces are prone to ergonomic risks — including desks.

If you spend much of your time working at a computer, it’s essential to be aware of how your workplace setup can affect you. If your workplace is set up incorrectly, or if you’re using desktop tools in the wrong way — especially for repetitive tasks, you may develop musculoskeletal disorders.

Luckily, UCOP offers a helpful virtual self-assessment to help you identify and eliminate ergonomic risks: the RSS Computer Ergonomics solution. Take a few minutes to complete this easy-to-use assessment and ensure you’re set up for success!
