Ergonomics Chapter One - Getting Started
17
Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the study of how people, with their different physical characteristics
and ways of functioning, relate to their working environment (the furnishings and
machines they use).
The goal of ergonomics is to incorporate comfort, efficiency, and safety into the
design of keyboards, computer desks, chairs, and other items in an effort to
prevent physical discomfort and health problems in the working environment.
If your budget permits, buy ergonomically designed furniture such as chairs,
shelves, and desks that fit your physical characteristics and work method. If you
are going to be sitting for extended periods of time, an ergonomically designed
chair may well be worth the extra expense.
You can, however, create an ergonomically improved workstation without
spending much money. The following tips will help you work effectively without a
lot of physical discomfort:
•
Purchase a chair with armrests and good back support.
•
Don’t slouch when sitting; keep your back straight.
•
Place the LCD panel or external monitor so that it is a little above eye level
when using a word processor.
•
Remember to Scroll Down often to ensure you are reading or typing at the
top of the screen; this will help to prevent neck strain.
•
Try to place the LCD panel or external monitor so that there is little glare
from the sun on the monitor
•
Walk around the room every hour.
•
Every half hour look away from the computer screen for a few minutes.
•
Place everything that you need to work within easy reach.
