Ergonomics is concerned with all aspects of the interactions of human beings and their work and leisure. The contents of the journal report research results on the psychological, physiological, anatomical, and engineering design aspects, being particularly concerned with optimising both system performance and safety, health and well-being. Research data from developed and developing countries is reported Ergonomics (or human factors), as defined by the International Ergonomics Association, is the scientific discipline concerned with interactions between humans and other elements of a system in carrying out a purposeful activity. Ergonomics aims to improve human well-being and overall system performance by optimising human-system compatibility, for which the design considerations include physical, cognitive, social, organisational and environmental factors.

Visual Ergonomics in the Office (Guidelines for monitor placement and lighting) Dennis R. Ankrum CIE Ankrum Associates Summary: Guidelines for monitor placement and lighting Eye-to-screen distance: at least 25", preferably more. Vertical location: viewing area of the monitor between 15° and 50° below horizontal eye level. Monitor tilt: top of the monitor slightly farther from the eyes than the bottom of the monitor. Lighting: ceiling suspended, indirect lighting. Use blinds and shades to control outside light. Screen colors: dark letters on a light background. How do you set up a computer workstation? Do you buy monitor risers or remove the CPU from beneath the monitor. Will even lower monitor positions cause neck strain? Can you get away with tipping the monitor down to avoid glare or should you invest in indirect lighting? How about viewing distance? 16 inches? 25 inches? Or even farther? Does screen color make a difference? Is there any evidence that ergonomic workstations improve work performance? This article suggests guidelines for monitor placement and lighting. They are based on the latest scientific research. Demonstrations illustrate the principles behind the recommendations.

This site is hosted by Netfirms Web Hosting Chairs, Posture, Ergonomics and the Alexander Technique by Robert Rickover As a teacher of the Alexander Technique(1), I am frequently asked about chairs by my students, and about which designs are best. Some have been given very expensive, ergonomically designed chairs at work and wonder if they are actually any better than ordinary ones. Others complain about their car seats, or about the curved plastic chairs often found in waiting rooms and in many airport lounges. our body that sits in a chair, and if we want to improve our comfort and health, our primary attention must be directed at improving our own functioning - that is, what we do with our body when we sit. The Alexander Technique is a very powerful method of learning to do just that. It teaches you ways to direct your body so that you can have an easy upright posture in virtually any sitting situation you find yourself in. I learned that these new seats were, in fact, designed by ergonomists and that the way they went about their design was to match the chair to posture of the average rider. But the average rider has pretty poor sitting posture to begin with so these chairs were simply reinforcing that prevailing pattern.

The following 10 steps are a brief summary of those things that most Ergonomists agree are important. If you follow the 10 steps they should help you to improve your working arrangement. You can also use the Computer Workstation Checklist to help to pinpoint any areas of concern and take a look at the 'Computer Workstation summary' diagram ' for specific tips. However, every situation is different, and if you can't seem to get your arrangement to feel right or you are confused about some of the following recommendations you should seek professional advice. 10 steps for a good ergonomic workstation arrangement Work through the following 10 steps to help you decide on what will be a good ergonomic design for your situation: How will the computer be used? who will be using the computer? - If the computer will only be used by one person then the arrangement can be optimized for that person's size and shape, and features such as an adjustable height chair may be unnecessary. If it's going to be used by several people, you will need to create an arrangement that most closely satisfies the needs of the extremes, that is the smallest and tallest, thinnest and broadest persons, as well as those in between these extremes.

Search IEA: In August 2000, the IEA Council adopted an official definition of ergonomics as shown below: The Discipline of Ergonomics Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. Ergonomists contribute to the design and evaluation of tasks, jobs, products, environments and systems in order to make them compatible with the needs, abilities and limitations of people. Domains of specialization Derived from the Greek ergon (work) and nomos (laws) to denote the science of work, ergonomics is a systems-oriented discipline which now extends across all aspects of human activity. Practicing ergonomists must have a broad understanding of the full scope of the discipline. That is, ergonomics promotes a holistic approach in which considerations of physical, cognitive, social, organizational, environmental and other relevant factors are taken into account. Ergonomists often work in particular economic sectors or application domains. Application domains are not mutually exclusive and they evolve constantly; new ones are created and old ones take on new perspectives. There exist domains of specialization within the discipline, which represent deeper competencies in specific human attributes or characteristics of human interaction.

Safe Computer Use Tips As we use computers for longer hours every day, we may notice increasing aches and pains in some parts of our bodies. These musculoskeletal problems can happen in anyone who uses a computer for long hours: computer programmers, engineers, data entry workers, telephone operators, customer service workers, and even graduate students. The problems can range from minor muscle aches that last less than a few hours to persistent tendon problems that can last for years. The more severe problems can lead people to leave a job they like or stop doing sports activities they enjoy, like tennis or bicycle riding. So we should do what we can to prevent the minor aches of work from progressing to disabling conditions. The most common body areas to watch for are the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders and neck. The problems may vary from aches to pain, burning, numbness or tingling. These symptoms may be felt during typing or mouse use or at other times when no work is being done, including during the night when the symptoms might wake you up. If you experience these symptoms, or other persistent or recurring pain that you think may be related to using a computer, you should see a qualified physician or talk to your companyÍs health and safety staff. The earlier a problem is properly diagnoses and treated, the less chance there is that it will progress to a disabling condition. Now, having said that, you should know that most often these problems are not serious and will go away with a little attention to the way you work. First of all , the more hours you work, the greater your risk. In my patients I frequently hear that their problem started after they worked on a project with a tight deadline. For example, they worked for 10 to 12 hours a day for two weeks, and the ache that started in the elbow just never goes away.
