As we spend increasing amounts of time seated in a chair in front of our computer workstation, we need to be aware of how the design and arrangement of our office equipment can impact our comfort, health and productivity.
Ergonomics is the scientific discipline concerned with improving the productivity, health, safety and comfort of people in their working environment. Under various national and EU items of legislation, employers have a legal responsibility to ensure appropriate health and safety (H&S) training is provided in order to prevent accidents, injury and ill health. Failure to observe ergonomic principles may have serious repercussions for both the individual and the organization as a whole. For the organization, this could include lost time; for the individual it could mean aches and pains in the wrists, shoulders and back as a result of poor workstation design and use. Posture is important!
