  2. Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability. --wikipedia Ergonomics / Workflow Task Force Workshops 2009-2010

  4. Ergonomic Tips For Computer Users • Posture - sit all the way back in your ergo chair, keeping knees level with or lower than your hips; rest feet on the floor or foot rest. • Elbows - keep them in a slightly open triangle of ~110 o angle with your wrists straight. • Keep Things In Reach - center the most-used section of the keyboard directly in front of you to prevent overreaching or awkward hand/wrist positions. • Monitor - center it in front of you and at arm's length away; the screen should be viewable without having to turn or tilt your head (with or without glasses). • Typing - if inputting data from paper copies use a document holder. • Phone - avoid cradling handset between neck and shoulders; use a hands-free telephone headset. • Reduce Repetitive Motions - even the smallest movements when done hundreds of times a day can lead to repetitive stress.   Use short-cut keys or macros to reduce repetitive keystrokes and mouse clicks, take micro pauses, download stretch break software and/or vary your tasks.
