Ergonomic Support Tools & Equipment (ESTE) Program

• Certain support tools and equipment items are helpful in addressing a particular ergonomic need, while also enhancing comfort during the performance of work tasks.
• As part of the ESTE program, specific items may be obtained for use by eligible 爆料社区 State, Auxiliary or Corporate on-campus and telecommuting employees, to serve as a preventative measure for mitigating potential injuries.
• Reimbursements/rebates are provided to 爆料社区 departments via designed ergonomic related funds. Items designated for telecommuter use can be shipped to the employee's home office location (if desired).

• Eligible ESTE items may include:
  • Anti-Fatigue Mat
  • Chair (specified for telecommuters)
  • CPU Holder
  • Extended Keyboard Worksurface/Keyboard Tray
  • Keyboards (preferably wireless)
  • Height Adjustable Legs (for on-campus users)
  • Height Adjustable Table/Desk Configurations (for telecommuters)
  • Monitor Arm(s)
  • Mouse
  • Task Light (ergonomic-style only)

• Specified support tool and/or equipment items (costing more than $100) receive a 50% rebate. The Home Office Seating or the Home Office Height Adjustable Table document(s) should be used (whichever applicable).
• Support tool items (costing less than $100) are not eligible for reimbursement.
• Utilize following process to acquire support tool/equipment items and receive a reimbursement:

      2. Upon receipt and/or installation of equipment item(s), download/print and fill out the Ergonomic Support Tool & Equipment Reimbursement Form (normally completed by the budget coordinator or manager). 
      3. Attach applicable receipts/invoices for items identified on the ESTE Form and submit all documents to SH&S using any of the following methods:
         
         • Email to ergonomics@csusm.edu.
         • Intra-campus mail to Safety, Health & Sustainability (SH&S).
