CHECKLIST 

ERGONOMICS ISSUES



Ergonomics is the study of physical work and it has never been more important to business owners and managers. As new technologies become available to help us do our jobs better, we hear reports that the same technologies can cause repetitive injuries or cumulative trauma. Employees who develop cumulative trauma or repetitive stress disorders may seek compensation from their employers who failed to heed early warning signs. Proactive attention to ergonomics when your employees are first placed at new workstations could prevent serious workplace injuries down the line C which will prevent your company facing citations, fines, or litigation. 

The following checklist can help you make sure every employee who uses a desktop computer is comfortable and healthy. This checklist can be downloaded to your firms Intranet site for your employees to use.
