Applying Ergonomics in our life • Ergonomics is applied in our life to fulfill these two goals: • Health • Productivity
Some example of applying ergonomics in our life: • Adjust the height of your work surface or table • Use a well-designed chair that supports your back and can be adjusted in height and kit • Position the keyboard appropriately so that it allows your forearms to be line with your hand • Adjust your seat to allow eyes to be at a comfortable level with the screen
Repetitive Strees Injuries • Can occur due to prolonged use of the hand, causing a number of symptoms such as pain, burning, swelling, tingling, numbness, loss of dexterity and weakness • Such as occupational overuse syndrome (OOS), cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) and repetitive motion syndrome (RMS)
Back pain • Back pain can happen when you sit on for a long period of time. It may also have worsened an existing back or neck problem • Usually when you sit in front of a computer, you are putting yourself in a static posture. This increases pressure on your back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs as well as back muscles and spinal disc Eye strain • Your eye can also become strained when you work in a plane with bad lighting conditions; a lot of grave or with a flickering screen
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) • As impairments of bodily structures such as muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, nerves, bones, and the localised blood circulatoin system that are caused or aggravated primarily by work and environment
