Prevention is better than cure<\/b> \u2013 Let\u2019s address the possible ergonomic risks before it\u2019s too serious.<\/p>\n

A work space should be designed to fit the worker rather than the other way around, and we\u2019re doing what we can to make this happen at 144 Oxford.<\/p>\n

Ergonomics is the study of people\u2019s 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.<\/b><\/p>\n

The most common ergonomic risks for 144 Oxford employees are:<\/p>\n

Incorrect setup of workstations<\/b> which can result in long term damage to the body, in particular the eyes, wrist and back.<\/p>\n

Incorrect lifting and manual handling<\/b> of carrying boxes or bags which can occur at all levels of the organisation and across all business areas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If these issues aren\u2019t identified and corrected, it could result in ergonomic-related disorders that ultimately affect your body and life.<\/p>

Thankfully, we\u2019re 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.<\/p>
