This workshop will contain an emphasis on creating a welcoming and functional work environment to facilitate getting things done.

 

Directly following will be a presentation on ergonomics by Terri Dominguez, a University of Connecticut Occupational Health and Safety staff member. Topics covered will include working postures, selection and placement of workstation components, recognizing potential hazards and early symptoms, and other environmental factors, at work and at home, that may affect health, comfort and productivity.
