Ergonomics: Office Ergonomics: Improving Our Office Comfort

Ergonomics is the study of human performance as it relates to the comfortable usage of our workspace and tools. For millions of workers, these tools are none other than an office chair, a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse. While these objects aren't typically considered workplace hazards, desk-based professionals are at risk for labor related injuries. Repetitive motion and stress can lead to serious Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), making ergonomics a critical factor in workplace safety.
