• Ergonomic office design is all about keeping our
  bodies comfortable and injury free during the
  course of our daily work.
• The first step in creating a healthy environment,
  however, is pinpointing those areas that need to
  be changed by studying your symptoms.

3
Do you have chronic back and shoulder pain or do
you experience numbness in your legs?

• You should investigate the purchase of a brand
  new (ergonomic) office chair.
• Recline-Ability
• Chair Height
• Seat Depth
• Armrests
• Lumber Support

4
Do you consistently feel stressed and irritable
or do you have trouble concentrating on the task
at hand ?

• There could be too much ambient noise from
  traffic or elsewhere within the office.

5
Do you suffer from severe eyestrain or allergies
that only seem to act up when youre at work?

• You should investigate the purchase of a new
  computer screen.

6
Do you feel sleepy all the time, but especially
when youre at work?

• This could be because your office is set at the
  wrong temperature, so adjust the thermostat to
  make it slightly cooler.

7
Do you suffer from persistent neck pain?

• This is likely a result of the type of telephone
  you are using or the way it has been placed at
  your desk try changing this.

• Keep in mind that an ergonomic chair and an
  ergonomic workstation have to work together in
  order to receive the best results.
