Ergonomic Gifts Ideas!
One of the primary goals of ergonomics is prevention of workplace illness and accidents. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 60 percent of the workplace illnesses reported each year are associated with repetitive stress injuries (RSI). These injuries result from continuous repetition of the same motions, for instance screwing or twisting items on an assembly line. The injury may be exacerbated by awkward postures, such as bending or reaching. One prime example of a repetitive strain injury is Carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a painful and often debilitating swelling of the tendons in the wrist. Carpal tunnel results from overuse of the hands and wrists. It is particularly common in people who must bend or overextend their arms while performing a repetitive task, such as typing on a computer keyboard, cutting meat, or tripping knobs and levers. Frequent, unassisted heavy lifting, such as lifting patients to move them in and out of hospital beds, is one of the leading causes of work-related back injuries. Another frequent cause of work-related back pain is a result of sedentary jobs, such as sitting at a computer workstation everyday, which tends to strain the structures in the lower back, upper back, and neck.
