Ergonomic Equipment Requests

Submitting Ergonomic Equipment Request

Employees may request ergonomic equipment or adjustment to their primary workstation by submitting a written request to Human Resources via courtsHR@utcourts.gov for review.

When submitting an ergonomic equipment request to Human Resources, please include the following information:

Specific ergonomic equipment that is being requested or the specific primary workstation adjustment requested
Description of the ergonomic challenge(s) associated with the request
Other relevant information which may include recommendations from a healthcare professional

Human Resources will work with your TCE or Administrator to determine the nature of the request and whether the equipment can be approved for purchase as part of the recommended list below. If additional information is needed to determine the nature of the request, the ADA interactive process should be initiated per HR08-15.

All decisions regarding ergonomic equipment requests will be made in compliance with state and federal laws, including the ADA. HR will maintain records of the ergonomic requests and accommodations provided as required by law.

Items that can be purchased with TCE/Administrator approval

Equipment may already be available on hand. Please check with your district or department point of contact before purchasing new equipment. Any equipment provided as part of this process is considered Court property. If an employee leaves Court employment, all equipment must be returned to the employee's management and may be used to fulfill new requests as needed.

**Due to budgetary impact, these items must be approved by a TCE or Administrator before purchase. All furniture requests must be sent to Dustin Treanor, dustint@utcourts.gov, before purchasing.
