SHARE BASIC INFORMATION ON ERGONOMIC ISSUES ELEMENT 5: SHARE BASIC INFORMATION ON ERGONOMIC ISSUES

LEARNING OUTCOMES As you go through this element you will acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to share basic information on ergonomic issues. 1. Identify basic ergonomic requirements of clients and colleagues 2. Provide the latest basic ergonomic information promptly to colleagues and clients 3. Record and pass on information on ergonomic issues to client and supervisor according to established procedures

IDENITIFY BASIC ERGONOMIC REQUIREMENTS Ergonomics - The study of the efficiency of persons in their working environment. In the Information Technology industry, ergonomics plays an important role in the design of monitors and keyboards. Ergonomic studies suggest preventive measures you can take to protect your health as you work with computers.

These guidelines may specify: The types of equipment used Appropriate furniture Safe usage times Seating posture Lifting posture Visual Display unit screen brightness and maintenance

There are several means of identifying ergonomic requirements of clients and employees. It may be done as part of an audit or the updating of a company’s fixed asset register or by a form completed by visitors. The process of identifying ergonomic requirements can be referred to as “Job Hazard Analysis and Control”

PROVIDE INFORMATION RELATING TO BASIC ERGONOMIC ISSUES By now you will have learnt that basic ergonomic advice may include the following: • OH&S procedures • Using and cleaning Visual Display Units (VDUs) • Advice on footrests • Exercises • Times for breaks • Armrests • Chairs This information must be promptly relayed to clients and colleagues based on vendor requirements, workplace policies and the latest OH&S information.

RECORD INFORMATION GIVEN ON ERGONOMIC ISSUES If you work in an organization that sells IT furniture and equipment, you may be required to record the ergonomic information given to clients. This may be a verbal presentation/demonstration and/or documentation which details ergonomic issues. However the information is disseminated; ensure that you follow the procedures established by your organization which may include notifying your supervisor.
