Improving Your Workplace Ergonomics

No matter what type of job you perform, proper workplace ergonomics are important. Specifically, ergonomics refer to the positioning of your body as you perform a task. Those who work desk jobs tend to suffer most from workplace injuries related to poor ergonomics, as sitting in a desk chair all day without proper posture and support can wreak havoc on the spine and the rest of the body.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to improve ergonomics regardless of the job you work. For desk workers, making sure you're in the right office chair makes all the difference. Chairs with lumbar support, adjustable armrests, and adjustable headrests are ideal for staying comfortable and maintaining proper posture on the job.

If you work a job that involved a lot of standing or walking, having the proper arch support in your shoes is key. The right foot support also translates to improved spinal support and posture. This can make you less prone to work injuries as a result. No matter what type of job you work, you should also find time to give yourself a break at least once an hour. If you work a desk job, this means taking a break to walk around.
