Computer Workstation Evaluator Training

To help your department comply with the campus health and safety guidelines for computer users, Departmental Safety Coordinators should designate an individual to attend a four-hour training class for departmental computer workstation inspectors. Attendees may include:

• department safety committee member interested in computer health and safety issues,
• departmental supervisor with numerous computer users in his/her unit,
• programmer analyst responsible for setting up computer workstations in your department,
• department safety coordinator.

Departments may send more than one person for training. Small departments may share resources within their college or building.

Those designated may check workshop schedules and enroll on line for the next Computer Workstation Evaluator Training on the UC Berkeley Learning Center on the blu portal at www.blu.berkeley.edu.

Contents of this free 4-hour training class for designated department computer workstation evaluators will include the following:

• Background on computer-related health issues,
• Basics of a computer workstation evaluation, with "hands-on" practice, and
• ABC's of a successful departmental computer health and safety program.
