Absolutely! An ergonomically designed workplace is more than just an ergonomic chair and a height-adjustable desk. Of course ergonomic tools<\/span><\/strong><\/a> such as an ergonomic keyboard and ergonomic mouse do contribute. They make it possible to work without pain and help avoid tension and back problems. Ergonomic measures also help to avoid repetitive strain injury (RSI) by minimising repetitive movements.<\/p>\n\n

But a pleasant working environment also contributes to ergonomics. That means aspects such as choosing the right lighting and avoiding noise pollution, as well as clear expectations from the boss and a realistic workload.<\/p>\n\n
