A Safely Advisory Cnnunli
tre, consisting of faculty, stu
dents and union represent;!
fives, reviews flic types ami fre
ipient y of injuries and disi uss
es possible remedies
One rernody Included in the
employees' union contract
deals with work ul a video ills
play terminal The contract sug
goels (hal employers should Ire
fjuentlv assign workers at VOTs
to other tasks throughout the
shift, thus breaking up ihe te
dious keyboard work
In addition, (loots tmplc
mi nts guidelines suggested by
OSHA These guidelines deal
with ergonomic*, the adapting
of equipment and tasks to pro
mote the worker's comfort
This includes specific as
p!-< ts of office work, including
the distance a worker should he
from the keyboard and monitor,
the correct placement of a
worker's wrists in relation to
the keyboard and the < urrei I
angles a! whir h workers should
plat e their bar ks and elbows
‘Our number one
goal Is to return
injured workers to
work.'
Bill Solomon
/ iRD claims coordinator
At her joh in Oregon Hall.
Park is using the guidelines to
he Ip make sure the inju r y
doesn't recur The heavy hind
ers she onee had to pull from a
shelf have been compiled into
one (under and. .placed'on her
desk
Also, Park's keyboard was
adjusted to the OSHA guide
lines, and she got an r,!«,s tin
stapler to replate the manual
stapler that hurt her hands
(loots said the ness ideas
have not Ix.’rti implemented in
all campus offices Instead, she
at !s upon a supervisor's request
or if she sees or hears of a poor
ly organized work suiting, she'll
investigate
At this stage we've dealt
with individual t irr umstances
as they've come up," said l.ric
Buckles, chairman of the Safety
Advisory Committee "To say
we have u c omprehensive pro
gram in place no."
Although the OSHA guide
lines relate spec ifically to
VDTs. (axils said she tries to
apply the principles of ergo
neihlcs to uny work setting
'VVe try to hack at (all work
sites) and make them better."
(loots said
i'o assist injured emjdoyees
and reduc e time lost to injuries,
the? Human Krtsourt.es Depart
merit h is developed a relurn-to
work program
Tin* program finds employ
rui'nl for injured workers un
able to return to their jobs
However, this usually means
modifying-the worker's pre-ex
isting job, said Hill Solomon,
HKD claims coordinator
If this fails, the program tries
to find work for an employee in
another department and will
provide nor essery training
Our number one goal is to
return injured workers to
work." Solomon said "In do
ing this, we accomplish our
other goals of controlling work
er 'compensation costs.”
Cammack is pleased with the
return-to-work program. Alter
she developed tendinitis, she
was trained for work in the ac
counting office in Oregon Hall
where she is currently an ac
t minting assistant.
We're really lucky to be
helped out," Oammack said.
'They gave me on-the-job train
ing, and I'm really grateful for
that "
