Medical telemetry monitoring stations are staffed 24/7. In 2016, the University of California, San Diego Health Ergonomics Program reviewed two telemetry stations for ergonomic risks. The first station’s assessment was requested by management as a routine safety activity. The other was in response to a Cal-OSHA complaint alleging that employees were exposed to a specific RMI risk. You’ll hear a comparison of the design and equipment at the two monitoring stations, as well as details on the ergonomic risks and how they were addressed.
