Ergonomic Workstation Setup Image

 

Why do I need to ensure my workstation is setup correctly?

Repetitive and prolonged use of a computer keyboard and/or mouse can lead to muscle aches and discomfort. Having incorrect posture from a badly designed workstation can often be the cause of such injuries.

 

The OHS Unit has produced guides to assist you in setting up your workstation.
