Ergonomics is committed to reducing risks in the office through effective design. Following the principles of ergonomics can bring about a harmonious and efficient workspace, significantly reducing the risk of occupational injuries.
Adjusting Sitting Posture and Workstation Layout
Choose a chair that can adjust height, backrest, and arm support to support the natural curvature of the back and reduce the possibility of lower back pain. The top of the computer screen used simultaneously should be at or slightly below the eye line, which can reduce neck and eye strain. The screen distance should be about one arm long to reduce visual burden. The keyboard and mouse are placed in easily accessible positions, with arms naturally placed on both sides of the body to reduce pressure on the elbows and wrists.
Regularly Changing Postures
Use a adjustable workbench to alternate between sitting and standing positions to improve blood circulation and reduce health issues caused by prolonged sitting. Encourage physical activity, increase muscle activity, and reduce stress and burden caused by prolonged sitting.
Optimize the Visual Environment
Ensure sufficient lighting in the workspace and avoid direct or indirect reflection and glare, reducing eye fatigue. You can also use anti blue light screen filters or glasses to reduce visual fatigue and other eye problems that may be caused by prolonged exposure to blue light on the screen.
Timed activities
Set timed reminders to encourage brief rest and simple stretching or activity exercises to improve blood circulation, reduce muscle stiffness, and promote overall well-being. Alternatively, it is advisable to design suitable rest areas and encourage employees to take short breaks after long periods of work to break free from prolonged sitting positions.
By combining the above methods, we aim to create a healthier, safer, and more comfortable working environment, effectively reducing the risk of workplace injuries and improving employee happiness and productivity.
