Being an office worker at a computer all day for going on five years now, I know a thing or two about how important ergonomics is in workstation equipment, and how necessary it is to protect yourself against strain on your body. You must be aware of your posture all day long, and how conducive your workstation setup is to good body placement for range and repetition of motion. The most important body parts that I’ve learned need to be protected are the neck, back and eyes. Continue reading

Features of Modern Computer Workstations
The most noticeable difference between modern computer workstations and the traditional wooden desk is how much less bulky they are. Made of lighter, thinner metal or composite materials, they appear more streamlined, starker and simpler. Maybe this is because computers have gotten smaller and less weighty, as they have gotten more complex, so the desks don’t need to be as big to support them. Modern designs can also be more abstract, Continue reading

I would say the majority of industrial workstations are vertically oriented, in that the worker is in a standing position and, while of course, the work surface is horizontal, everything they might require for the task is stored within arm’s length on the vertical axis above or below them.
