Workstation Safety
Correct ergonomic configuration of your workstation can reduce or prevent effects
such as fatigue, pain, and strain. Minimize or eliminate these effects by configuring
your workstation to promote neutral or relaxed working positions.
MUSCULOSKELETAL AND REPETITIVE MOTION
HAZARD. These hazards are caused by potential risk factors that include but are not
limited to repetitive motion, awkward posture, forceful exertion, holding static
unhealthy positions, contact pressure, and other workstation environmental factors.
To minimize musculoskeletal and repetitive motion risks:
• Use equipment that comfortably supports you in neutral working positions and
allows adequate accessibility to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
• Position the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to promote relaxed body and head
postures.
