Online Ergonomics Advisor - COMING SOON

The Online Ergonomics Advisor helps agencies address the ergonomics issues that arise in their office areas.

Workplace ergonomics is the science and practice of designing jobs or workplaces to match the capabilities and limitations of the human body, or more simply: fitting the job to the person rather than the person to the job. Effective ergonomics practices can help agencies reduce workers' compensation claims and improve productivity while providing employees with a pain-free work experience.

The Online Ergonomics Advisor has three components:

  • Workstation evaluation
  • Symptom analysis
  • Stretching exercise guide


This interactive application can be used to address individual ergonomics issues or can be a part of a comprehensive ergonomics plan.

Contractor Safety Program Builder - COMING SOON 

The Contractor Safety Program Builder helps your agency reduce the risks surrounding the hiring of contractors while meeting CalOSHA regulations related to multi-employer liability.

The safety records and practices of your agency's contractors can have a huge effect on costs...both hard costs and hidden costs. Some of the risk can be transferred through insurance and contract language, but it is much more effective to have a programmatic approach that empowers your agency to manage the risks of working with contractors.

The Contractor Safety Program Builder guides you through the development of a comprehensive program that addresses the financial, regulatory aspects, the party and operational risks associated with hiring contractors, as well as the risks to your employees. The result is a program that includes:

  • Contractor Safety Orientation
  • Contractor Safety Program Self-Certification
  • Hazard Action Matrix
  • Pre-Qualification and Determination Guide
  • Pre-Qualification of Contractors Seeking to Bid on Public Works Projects
