Skip to navigation Search Site Sections Personal tools You are here: Home Physical Therapy Corner Office Ergonomics Document Actions by admin last modified 70% of the U.S. work force now sits on the job, many in front of computers. With so much work being done in a seated position today, a comfortable workstation is of greater importance than ever before. Poor sitting posture and poorly designed workspaces are major causes of neck and back pain, which are the main reasons for lost work time. The human body was not designed to sit for extended periods of time, or work in awkward positions that chronically contract or stretch muscles. Unfortunately, most jobs today require people to perform such activities. Therefore, a well-designed workstation and proper sitting postures are essential in reducing and preventing potential problems caused by the demands of today's jobs. You should have a large enough workspace that allows you to avoid improper postures in answering the phone, moving files from cabinets, etc.

Ergonomics: Introduction To Ergonomics
Article focusing on the application of ergonomics and ergonomic principles to the workplace situation.
http://www.accel-team.com/ergonomics/index.html

Extractions: Within management services various principles exist; for example, which have for at least 50 years been taught and applied on a semi-empirical basis, and all of which are orientated around the worker. Starting with the Industrial Fatigue Research Board in 1919, scientific advances in the study of the human at work have shown that the application of scientific understanding of anatomy physiology and psychology results in improved productivity, thus ergonomists will have received formal education at degree level in these subjects. Although they may seek to operate directly on the shop floor or in the office, they will often be naive concerning some of the harder facts of industrial and commercial life and will therefore work much better via the management services department.

Nikon MicroscopyU: Basic Microscope Ergonomics
Longterm microscope sessions have historically created problems for scientists and technicians who have used the instruments. These involve neck and back
http://www.microscopyu.com/articles/ergonomics/ergointro.html

Extractions: Walk into a busy laboratory and it isn't unusual to see microscopes sitting on books, tilted at odd angles, and otherwise propped in a variety of positions to accommodate their users. Microscopes have undergone a remarkable evolution since their invention in the early 1600s, but most of the new developments and improvements have been in the area of contrast enhancement accessories and the microscope optical train. While issues of usability have taken a back seat to optical performance for the past 400 years, they haven't been completely disregarded by microscopists. As early as the 1830s, Sir David Brewster noted in his Treatise on Optics , "The best position for microscopical observations is when the observer is lying horizontally on his back . . . . The worst of all positions is that in which we look downwards vertically." Unfortunately, Sir Brewster's suggestions were never utilized in microscope design and sitting or standing at the instrument became the status quo. While conventional microscope design has not necessarily been a problem for short-term use, long-term sessions have historically created problems for scientists and technicians who used the instruments, making them, quite literally a pain in the neck. Microscopists were expected to suffer for the greater good of science and many have paid the price over the years with physical complaints and sometimes even permanent injuries.

Movie Gallery Although conventional microscope design has not necessarily been a problem for short-term use, long-term sessions have historically created problems for scientists and technicians who used the instruments, making them, quite literally, a pain in the neck. Microscopists were expected to suffer for the greater good of science and many have paid the price over the years with physical discomfort and sometimes even permanent injuries. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ), in the United States Department of Labor, finds that "Microscope work is straining both to the visual system and the musculoskeletal system. Operators are forced into an unusual exacting position, with little possibility to move the head or the body. They are often forced to assume an awkward work posture such as the head bent over the eye tubes, the upper part of the body bent forward, the hand reaching high up for a focusing control, or with the wrists bent in an unnatural position." Introduction to Microscope Ergonomics - Once an exotic and esoteric piece of scientific equipment, during the twentieth century microscopes became commonplace in geological, biological, and medical laboratories and in factories manufacturing electronic components and integrated circuits for computers and the consumer electronics industry. As microscope use grew, so did concerns about usability. During the 1980s and 1990s, microscope manufacturers began introducing ergonomic features into their instruments to make them safer and more comfortable to use for extended periods of time (up to six or eight hours a day).

This is achieved by the evaluation and design of workplaces, environments, job tasks, equipment, and processes in relationship to human capabilities and interactions in the workplace. CAP recommends that all furniture (chairs, desks) and other accessories are adjustable in order to meet individual's body size, type, and individual seating and working preferences. Studies have shown that effective use of ergonomic practices help to maintaining high levels of productivity, avoiding painful and costly employee injuries, and increased worker satisfaction. By designing the job around the person, employees will have a decreased risk of injury. To assist individuals in preventative measures, CAP provides: CAP recommends that you review our Assistive Technology section to obtain information on devices designed to eliminate or prevent dexterity disabilities associated with poor ergonomics, such as:
