1. Ergonomics

   • Studying people at their working place to make the two things 'fit' together also making sure that the person can do their job as effectively as possible.
     • The ergonomist will look at the job being done and the person doing it.

2. Office Environment

   • Seats
     • -Adjustable height so the users legs can be placed in a possition they like
     • The height of the back rest should be adjustable and it should tilt for more comfort.
     • Arm rest that can be removed if they are not wanted.
   • Desks
     • Enough space for paperwork, a computer icluding a monitor , a keybord and a mouse and for anything else used.
     • Enough leg space, so drawers and supports should not get in the way.

3. Consequences of poor workplace design

   • Employees taking time off work because of injuries or back pain.
   • Less work done as people are uncomfortable and therefore less effective
