work and sit comfortably. Ergonomic Desk Set Up- It provide the right posture, prevent from

R.S.I. and Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. Even maintain distance between eyes and monitor.

ERGONOMIC CHAIR-

The height is an ideal parameter for every type of ergonomic chair.It balance the posture and sitting Condition of employee so it shouldbe height adjustable.

ERGONOMIC DESK-Availability of proper desk.

ERGONOMIC MONITOR-Distance should be 20-30 inches to the setting and screen should not be very bright.

ERGONOMIC KEYBOARDS-Prevents from wrist as well as fingers pain and easy to work without strain.

SOME EXAMPLES-

Yes, because- It mitigate the threats expected to affect

the employees It provide more ease and comfort at work It enhances the work efficiency of
