Office Workstation Ergonomics Assessments

Overview

According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), repetitive strain injuries (RSI) are the nation’s most common and costly occupational health problem. These injuries affect hundreds of thousands of American workers and cost more than $20 billion per year in workers’ compensation claims.¹

Many of the risk factors that lead to repetitive strain injuries are office-related, and the vast majority of all office workers use computers. Consequently, proactive ergonomic awareness and education on computer workstation arrangement can help to reduce your organization’s exposure to repetitive strain injuries.
