Ergonomics Assessment
Did you know that most repetitive stress injuries to workers, like carpal tunnel syndrome, could have been prevented easily and for little cost by performing a workstation ergonomic assessment? Ergonomics is the science of fitting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of the working population. Effective and successful “fits” assure high productivity, avoidance of illness and injury risks, and increases satisfaction among the workforce.
The college offers free ergonomics assessments as part of our injury and illness prevention program. An online Ergonomic Workstation Self-Assessment is offered through Environmental Health Safety for employees of the college. For more information, or to request or schedule an assessment for yourself or members of your department, please email your request to Kevin Walters: walterke@dickinson.edu
Emergency Preparedness
We have become all too familiar with campus tragedies that have received headlines during the past several years. But it will never happen here at Dickinson College…right? The best action any of us can take to avoid or limit the severity of an unfortunate incident is preparation. This workshop is facilitated by Department of Public Safety officers as they walk the audience through potential scenarios that could occur on campus and how employees can best prepare.
CPR, First Aid & AED Certification
The CPR/First Aid/AED certification course provides training to prepare participants to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults, children age 12 or younger, and infants. Being certified will provide you with valuable skills that will prepare you for a potentially life-threatening situation. The training for skills is followed by a skills demonstration test and a written exam. The schedule for training certification sessions can be found in EngageD using the key word "CPR" in the search box.
Please note: Re-certification requires a current/valid card for the participant.
