Project Title:
Repetitive Strain Injury Prevention Program

Project Description: The Health Sciences Library (HSL) Quality of Work Life Committee initiated this project in summer 1999 to educate staff members about preventing and treating repetitive strain injuries that result from poor workstation ergonomics. The program grew from a single department initiative to include staff from throughout University Libraries, as well as Computing and Information Technology. While its long-term success cannot be measured yet, it is significant to note that there have been no new cases of repetitive strain injury among HSL staff since the program was initiated.
