Request an Ergonomic Consultation
As staff duties allow, EHS professionals provide free ergonomic consultations. The EHS team member will work with you to assess how you are using your space and offer suggestions about how you might improve the ergonomics of your practices. Please note, these consultations are not medical evaluations, and no suggestions should be interpreted as requirements. For ADA accommodations information and support, contact the ADA Case Manager: ryan.bangham@uconn.edu.
