According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 68% of non-fatal work related injuries in 2008 came from musculoskeletal disorders, sprains, and strains1. A number of these injuries could have been prevented by proper education and treatment. As an Ergonomic Specialist, it is my duty to help reduce that number by providing my services to the workplace.

- Eye height to Video Display Terminal (VDT) level
- Elbow and wrist placements
- VDT brightness relation to natural/ambient light
- Furniture evaluation such as:
- Chair heights and angles including lumbar suppport

- Noise Levels
- Accessibility
- Organization/layout of work areas
- Job-specific Tasks
