An unsuitable working posture, environment or tool can lead, day after day, to an increase in stress as well as physical and mental constraints, particularly in the case of pre-existing health damage. A visit by one of our occupational health and safety specialists will enable them to provide advice and support to adapt your workplace in the best possible and lasting way, whatever your activity at EPFL.
According to your needs, please request the following services:
- A visit of your workplace by specialists in occupational hygiene
- A (confidential) medical consultation targeted at ergonomic issues by occupational medicine
Infrastructure adaptations (for example ergonomic chair, sit-stand desk) can be made in certain situations, as long as several prerequisites are met (prior workplace visit, medical indication).
Below you will find a selection of useful links providing general recommendations on workplace ergonomics, examples of office exercises, suggestions for ergonomic accessories, and tips for remote working.
