Office Ergonomics – Adapting your Workspace to You

Posted on 10:59 by Unknown
Firstly, you may be asking, what is ergonomics? Wikipedia defines it as “the science of designing the workplace environment to fit the user. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability.”

Most of you reading this article are computer users and proper setup of your work space is essential in creating a comfortable workstation and it can help prevent injuries.

Following are some of the areas to take a look at when setting up your work space.

Mouse - There are a number of ailments that can come from using your mouse incorrectly, from sore wrists to aching shoulders. They may take years to develop, but once present, can be difficult to reverse. That's why it's so important - even if you're not currently feeling pain - to position and use your mouse properly so that you avoid future problems.

Monitor - Choosing the right location for your computer monitor on the desk or workspace can be a difficult decision. Yet if not positioned correctly, your monitor can cause neck pain, shoulder pain, or even eye strain

Keyboard - There are a number of ailments that can come from using your keyboard incorrectly-from short-term issues like sore wrists to long-term problems like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. These ailments can take years to develop, and once present, can be difficult or even impossible to reverse. That's why it's so important - even if you're not currently feeling pain-to position and use your keyboard properly to avoid future problems.

Stay tuned for tips and suggestions in future articles on how to set up your workspace in these areas.
