1. Did you know that the University of Windsor has an Office Ergonomics Procedure Policy in place?
The following is taken from the University’s Office Ergonomics Procedure document:
“Ergonomic assessments can be arranged by a manager/supervisor if a worker has difficulty modifying their workstation to accommodate their needs or physical discomfort is experienced at the computer workstation. The worker must notify their manager/supervisor of their request for an ergonomic assessment. Managers/supervisors may contact the Office of OHS for assistance in obtaining an ergonomic assessment. A written report will be provided after completion of the assessment outlining the ergonomic hazards present in the workstation and recommendations for possible controls.”
Don’t hesitate! Ask your supervisor for an ergonomics assessment today!

2. Did you know that there are policies in place to prevent Harassment and Violence in the Workplace?
Harassment and Violence in the workplace are not tolerated at the University of Windsor, and under the Ontario Legislature's Bill 168 the University has created policies and procedures dealing with both issues. To learn more about these two programs, managed under the Human Resources Department, check out the Harassment Prevention Program and the Workplace Violence Prevention Program.
