Prevention Is Better Than Cure - Office Ergonomics at 144 Oxford
Prevention is better than cure – Let’s address the possible ergonomic risks before it’s too serious.
A work space should be designed to fit the worker rather than the other way around, and we’re doing what we can to make this happen at 144 Oxford.
Ergonomics is the study of people’s efficiency in their working environment, and with this field of study comes scientifically improved modes of setting up workstations. The goal is to eliminate discomfort and risk of injury at work and create a healthier and more comfortable working environment.
The most common ergonomic risks for 144 Oxford employees are:
Incorrect setup of workstations which can result in long term damage to the body, in particular the eyes, wrist and back.
Incorrect lifting and manual handling of carrying boxes or bags which can occur at all levels of the organisation and across all business areas.
If these issues aren’t identified and corrected, it could result in ergonomic-related disorders that ultimately affect your body and life.
Thankfully, we’re constantly on the lookout for ways to make the office more ergonomic. Part of this campaign is providing you with practical guidelines that you can incorporate into your own personal work setup.
