Ergonomic computer position

Abstract

The article presents the issue of computer workstation ergonomics. The publication begins with a brief historical overview on the development of the definition of ergonomics over time. I show how to design a computer workplace to make it not tiring. I presented hazards that can potentially result from improper design of the workplace. The publication also points out how to avoid certain health risks through the use of proper body alignment when working with a computer as well as by relaxation exercises. In the paper I try to convince the reader that the ergonomics of computer workplace is very important and one should be aware of it early during the design phase of workplace.
