Ergonomic Assessor Resources

ErgoCruz is the name we have given our comprehensive UCSC Ergonomics Program.

Ergonomic Assessors in Departments

Our Ergonomics Program and extensive team of departmental “Ergonomic Assessors” serve to assist UCSC employees with ergonomic evaluations, ergonomic training, and ergonomic product recommendations to optimize the comfort and functionality of their computer workstations. Applying ergonomic principles to the workstation is a proven method of reducing risk of injury and enhancing productivity.

If you are a manager seeking to improve your department's ergonomics or a staff member interested in becoming an Ergonomic Assessor (EA) for your department, contact ergocruz@ucsc.edu for more information on how to get started.

Ergo Evaluation Process Overview

• Ergonomic Assessors will instruct colleagues in their department to first complete a brief online ergonomics training & self-evaluation module found here: https://riskandsafety.com/ 
• Next, the EA will schedule a Workstation Evaluation of the employee’s workstation (in-person or by Zoom).
• If needed, employees will be instructed to contact ergocruz@ucsc.edu to schedule a visit to our Ergonomic Showroom for chair fitting and trying out ergonomic products.
