What Is Ergonomic Design

To keep your body working in neutral, you need to be able to adjust your workstation to your body, rather than adjust your body to the workstation. These adjustments are made possible through ergonomic design.
The goal is to create a workplace in which employees can work in neutral, minimisng wear and tear on their bodies.
Employees come in all shapes and sizes, yet most work using the same office equipment and furniture. These are the main elements that need to be adjusted when an employee sits down at a workstation:

• Chairs
• Keyboard and mouse
• Monitor
• Document holders
• Work habits and placement of equipment on desk
