and hazards.
This will include:
The role of ergonomics
Ergonomics-related injuries and their causes
Proper workstation arrangement
Controlling ergonomic hazards
5. Repetitive strain injury (R.S.I.)
Work Related Upper Limb Disorder(W.R.U.L.D)
Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD)
Fatigue
Migraine headaches and eye strain
8. Ergonomics are adopted so that it keeps one
healthy, increases productivity and efficiency,

9. Work Area Specifics
Ergonomic Desk Set Up
Ergonomic Chair
Computer Basics
Noise
Breaks and Exercise

Must be provided with large enough space to work
and sit comfortably.
Ergonomic Desk Set Up -
It provide the right posture, prevent from R.S.I. and
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. Even maintain distance
between eyes and monitor.
11. ERGONOMIC CHAIR-
The height is an ideal parameter for
every type of ergonomic chair.
It balance the posture and sitting
Condition of employee so it should
be height adjustable.
12. ERGONOMIC DESK-Availability of proper
desk.
ERGONOMIC MONITOR-Distance should be
20-30 inches to the setting and screen should not
be very bright.
ERGONOMIC KEYBOARDS- Prevents from
wrist as well as fingers pain and easy to work
without strain.
14. Yes, because-
