The FirstHand Award is something we conceived of for 2001 and awarded to an organization nominated by the RSI community for its good efforts in ergonomics and employee health. It took us nearly a year to produce the plaque for the 2001 winner of the FirstHand Award, but here it is:
The California State University, Fresno, Environmental Health & Safety Office won the 2001 award back in February of 2001. At that time they won the following:
Several copies of our book, "It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Amazon page)"
An Armaid massage device from Armaid.com
A Morency Armrest from MorencyRest.com
The StretchBreak reminder program from Paratec.com
A Cirque Internet Cruise Cat from Cirque.com
We have not repeated the award since 2001.
