Whether working from home or in the office, spending the time to set up your workstation can keep you or your employees safe from future injury and pain.

Workstation ergonomics refers to taking specific actions to set up a workspace according to an individual’s personal needs.

An ergonomic workstation can improve comfort, posture and reduce the risk of conditions like carpal tunnel and cramps.

To make your computer workstation more comfortable consider:

• Adjusting your chair, monitor and desk correctly – have everything within easy reach

• Task rotation - take regular rest breaks to stretch and vary your posture

• Evaluate your work environment – adjust room brightness (to reduce screen glare), temperature, and regularly allow for fresh air/ventilation.

If you are experiencing discomfort, prioritise contacting ISOsafe to conduct an Ergonomic Assessment of your workstation.

Whether you’re working from home, an office or any other environment an assessment will ensure your equipment matches the work you do and your body’s needs.
