ERGONOMIC Assessment for the Work and Home Office

Never underestimate the importance of work set up.

You'll be surprised how changing the way you or your employees use the work space will improve productivity and comfort.

Correct sitting or standing posture, body alignment with the desk or work area, how to use the computer and mouse, keyboard, where to rest the arm, desk placement, foot support, etc., can greatly reduce pain and fatigue.

Problems relating to wrong set up can cause:

• Headache
• Jaw pain

• Tingling or aching sensations
• Back and neck pain
• Feeling of fatigue

• Pain in the buttocks and hips
• Development of sores in the buttocks, skin redness, rashes
• Constipation
• Stomach pain and difficult digestion
