Computer Workstation Ergonomics

The Recommendations for an Agency Policy on Computer Workstation Ergonomics was originally compiled as a hard-cover reference manual in March 2005 as a joint endeavor by the NYS Governor's Office of Employee Relations, the Civil Service Employees Association, and the NYS & CSEA Partnership for Education and Training (see Acknowledgements). In 2006, GOER added the manual to its website. In 2010, GOER reformatted the web version to improve usability.
