Why is ergonomics important?
Every year, millions of workdays are lost worldwide due to workplace injuries and illnesses.
By incorporating ergonomic design into your workplace, you’ll be taking steps to help reduce absenteeism and increase productivity.
An ergonomically designed workspace leads to:
A more focused and productive workforce
Reduced levels of absenteeism due to work-related injury or illnesses
The ability to adapt a desk to multiple users (ideal for shift-working and hot-desking)
An efficiently used workspace
Maximised use of technology to improve efficiency
The flexibility to meet changing demands
In a world where ever-changing technology drives new ways of working, ergonomic design in the workplace has never been more important.
Prepare yourself for the future now.
Desks, chairs, monitors, keyboards and lighting
all need to be assessed when creating a workspace.
