Pilot-Credits EQpc44:Ergonomics approach for computer users

Documenting the two education sessions

How have people been documenting the two education sessions? Are we to document the material that will be used in future education sessions? Because this is a new construction project the building will not be occupied and therefore the education sessions will not occur until after we submit the credits.

You are correct. The educational programs shall occur during occupancy, so it is an "on your honor" requirement to implement them after LEED certification is complete. Similar to the thermal comfort survey. We had this pilot credit awarded recently. We provided a detailed narrative describing how the educational programs will be implemented. Also, we noted anticipated dates of implementation. Here are a few examples. (1) A welcome packet shall be emailed to each employee upon arrival to the new space with video tutorials on how to adjust their tools; (2) HR provides monthly educational sessions with employees and one of the sessions shall be focused on ergonomics; (3) Trained ergonomist shall lead classroom-style ergonomics training followed by individualized workstation fittings.

This is really helpful, I had the same question. Another question I have is does the furniture have to meet all three standards listed, BIFMA, ANSI & CFA?

The furniture can meet one or more of the standards listed in the pilot credit requirements. For our project, we provided confirmation that computer workstations comply with the ANSI/HFES 100-2007 Standard.

Do you have to show proof that all the furniture meets one of the standards?
