Ergonomics for Telework

Ergonomics for Telework

Most of us do not have complete home offices like we do at work, so telework can be a challenge. AFSCME wants to make sure you know the basics about how to keep yourself healthy while teleworking.

One of the best ergonomics guides for teleworking we have found is from Stanford University's Department of Environmental Health & Safety. This guide and short webinar was created to assist Stanford faculty and staff who are currently teleworking.

The US Army has also created a useful ergonomics guide for teleworkers and includes tips for workers who prefer to stand and who may not have dedicated work space at their house.
