Ergonomics

Residential Student Housing - Students

Students who wish to request housing accommodations should contact their school's Local Disability Coordinator (LDC). Many LDCs have resources and forms posted on their website to initiate a request. Please see the LDC List to find your School’s contact person or office for this interactive process. 

Faculty & Staff

For general foundational information regarding ergonomics at Harvard, including adjusting your furniture and office equipment and vendor information, please visit Harvard Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S). 

Faculty and Staff may complete an ergonomic assessment via EH&S Computer Workstation Self-Assessment & Training program (Harvard Key Login). This program is intended to educate you on the basics of ergonomics and then have you apply this knowledge to adjust your workstation. 

If additional assistance is needed after the completion of the online self-assessment & training program, a representative from EH&S can be available to provide an in-person evaluation of your workstation. Requests for an in-person evaluation can be made on the EH&S website. 

Faculty and Staff wishing to request a workplace reasonable accommodation should refer to Workplace Accommodations.
