Do you suffer from eye strain, headaches or back pain while working on your PC?
Historically, Ergonomics was another name for Human Factors. Today, Ergonomics commonly refers to designing work environments for maximising safety and efficiency by ensuring the work environment meets the needs of the individual user.
Office ergonomics is concerned with the way in which an office worker interacts with the office environment. A large percentage of the working population work in offices, or on computers. Therefore an understanding of office ergonomics is more important today than it has ever been.
You may often hear people complain about headaches, back, shoulder or neck problems. Rarely are these symptoms connected to the design or setup of the person's workplace, or workstation. An effective office ergonomics program will minimise the pain and discomfort caused by an improperly set up workstation.
A well structure office ergonomics program will always pay for itself by helping to increase productivity and reduce sick leave due to injury, or employees generally feeling unwell. This can occur as a result of poor lighting, poor posture, eye strain or a number of other factors relating to how the individual interacts with their environment.
An ergonomic assessment examines the person and analyses how they interact with their working environment.
The Easy HR ergonomic review focuses on improving workstation efficiency and comfort to ensure increased job satisfaction and productivity. Effective ergonomic design can significantly reduce the likelihood of an injury or Workers Compensation claim.
Our review addresses sitting posture, desktop and equipment layout, vision and glare issues, work patterns, & breaks.
