Good article! The key is to adjust the workstation and not the employee's behavior. However, having said that, my experience is that many staff are resistant to changes in their ergonomic setup until they do sustain an injury.

In the organization where I am a Principal Consultant (OHS), we had an ergonomic consultant come in once a week for 3 hours and visit different work areas. Staff could ask for advice on a voluntary basis and did make use of the service. However, I still see people in shocking postures from time to time.

The photos in the presentation above only show the woman changing her posture, but not a change in equipment. Ideally, her eyes would be approximately 750mm from the computer screen and about level with the top of the screen. Her legs (from knees to thighs) should be approximately parallel to the floor, and her forearms should also be parallel to the floor. Sometimes, for shorter people, this setup means their legs don't reach the floor. In this case, a footrest should be used.

Phones, calculators, and anything else regularly used from the chair should be in easy reach without stretching. If people type while reading from a document, an "inline" document holder is also a good idea.

It takes a little while to get the setup right, but it's worth it!!

Thanks for the post.
