A Lesson in Ergonomics Mr. Hall Tech Teacher Banks High School

Background of Ergonomics Ergonomics – How people relate to their work & home environments. – For you this means school. Ergonomics is partly physical, and partly environmental. Improper ergonomics leads to injuries, and other health problems.

How Ergonomics Relates to Technology Physically: – Posture – Stretching – Exercise Environmental – Uncluttered work area – Computer Placement – Monitor placement

Physical Ergonomics Good Posture – Sit upright – Chin in – Shoulders relaxed – Wrists straight – Head upright – Feet flat Stretches – Finger/wrist – Arm – Neck – Back Exercises – Finger-flutter – Blink often

Environmental Ergonomics Uncluttered workspace – Keep papers at monitor level. – Easy access to mouse and keyboard. – Room for chair movement Monitor Placement – Top of the screen should be even with eye level. – Near arms length away.

Possible Injuries Repetitive-Stress Injuries – Carpal Tunnel Carpal Tunnel Muscle Related Injuries – Muscle Strains – Headaches – Eye Strain – Fatigue

Major Points Maintain Good Posture! Change Work Positions Frequently! Rest Your Eyes – Look away and focus on a distant object for several seconds! Stretch During Breaks! Don’t wait until you feel pain to stop an activity!
