To initiate the Ergonomic Evaluation for your Campus Workstation, start by reviewing this page for CHABSS ergonomic guidelines and then visit the SH&S Ergonomics website to begin the process. CHABSS is no longer approving home office ergonomic equipment.  

CHABSS has run out of funds for reiumbursement. If you have recieved an ergonomic evaluation, it is valid for 3 years. Please contact Jessica Raffi (jraffi@csusm.edu) if you have a medical accomodation or for further questions.

Reimbursement

When you have completed your evaluation with SH&S they will advise you on the support tools and equipment that you could purchase. The items you choose to purchase will be purchased by the department AC with your department funds. You should consider the most economical options as there are different vendors for these products. The department AC will then submit the Ergonomic Support Tool & Equipment (ESTE) reimbursement form to SH&S for reimbursement. Note that the department will only be reimbursed for items vetted by SH&S and they do not reimburse labor costs from Facilities or PDC. Items $101 or more will receive a 50% rebate from SH&S. CHABSS will provide reimbursement on a case by case basis.
