Office ergonomics consultation in Mumbai

Office ergonomics is very essential because almost half of our day is spent sitting at one place in our workplace. This means we spend most of our active years sitting and working.

Therefore, it can have a very negative effect on our body and can lead to a number of musculoskeletal disorders.

➢ Let’s see how badly poor ergonomics affects us;
1. Muscle weakness and tightness.
2. Bones and joints experience discomfort which evidently leads to pain.
3. Poor posture can lead to serious disorders such as arthritis.
4. Mental irritation and fatigue.
5. Neck sprains and Back sprains can have a harmful effect on your spine.
6. Digestion problems.

➢ Tips and tricks:
a. While purchasing a chair, make sure to check the adjustability of its height such that Hip and knee are in the same line and the feet rest on the floor.
b. Level the desk, so as to be able to place your arms comfortably at 90° without slouching or adjusting them.
c. Make sure that the seat of the chair is comfortable and not sunken in.
d. The keyboard tray should be spacious enough to accommodate the mouse and keyboard without cluttering.
e. The mouse you use for the computer should be sensitive and easy to slide around, without causing much pressure on the arm.
f. The top of the screen should be at the eye level.
