Dear Community, In these challenging times, we are reaching out with information and suggestions to support your health and wellbeing of our students, staff and community. ​Click HERE for our ergonomic tips for working and schooling from home. ​​ In response to the Covid19 pandemic, the UC Ergonomics Research & Graduate Training Program is following the guidelines of UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco which includes pausing all research, teaching and consulting services that require person to person contact.

  • Online ergonomic classes will proceed without interruption

  • Campus/ Residential classes will be “online only” for the remainder of the Spring Semester 2020

  • Data collection that requires person to person contact will cease until further notice

  • Data collection that is online (survey or web conference based) will proceed without interruption

  • Consulting services that require worksite data collection will cease until further notice

Our team will be following state and county recommendations regarding shelter in place advisories.  During this time, please contact Program Director, Dr. Carisa Harris, if you have any questions (carisaharris@berkeley.edu). We hope you and your family stay safe and well. Thank you, Dr. Carisa HarrisDirector, UC Ergonomics Program
