Girl at Computer Computer Ergonomics for Elementary School Child with Computer
Computer Ergonomics is about things that you can do to make working on a computer more comfortable and better for your body. For example, wearing a bike helmet when riding a bike and a seatbelt when riding in a car are two simple things that you do to be safe. The Computer Ergonomics for Elementary School Students (CergoS) Web site will show you some simple and affordable ways to make sure that your body is safe and comfortable while using a computer.

This project was supported by a grant from the Department of Consumer and Business Services, Oregon OSHA. All material at this Web site is free to everyone and can be reproduced.

Web-site content was developed by Inger M. Williams, Ph.D., Consultant in Computer Ergonomics for Offices and Schools. For comments and questions about the content, please contact Inger at cergos@rochester.rr.com.

NOTE: The CergoS web site, designed by the Oregon Public Education Network (OPEN), is now a part of the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (OR-OSHA) web site.

Please take a brief survey to tell us what you think of the Oregon OSHA Web site.
