Impact of Ergonomics in the Workplace
Posted on by Ali Nasreddine, OTR/L, OTD
Ergonomics is about how your surroundings and personal habits affect your risk of muscle and joint injuries. These injuries can happen in different parts of the body and may be caused by repeating the same movements, working in uncomfortable temperatures, or using poorly placed equipment. Stress and personal beliefs can also play a role, especially because these injuries often develop over time.
