1 Identify the problem

Identifying the specific ergonomic issues that are causing discomfort, pain, or injury is the first step. To do this, observe your work environment, equipment, and tasks, and listen to both your body and your colleagues. Common signs of ergonomic issues include straining your eyes, neck, or back to see screens or documents, feeling numbness or stiffness in your fingers, wrists, or arms, having difficulty reaching, bending, or lifting objects, and experiencing headaches, fatigue, or stress after work.

Start by identifying specific problems through surveys, assessments, or observations. Collaborate with employees to gather input and suggestions for improvement. Implement ergonomic solutions such as adjustable furniture, ergonomic tools, and workspace modifications. Provide training on proper posture and ergonomic practices. Regularly assess and adjust interventions based on feedback and evolving needs. Prioritize open communication and encourage employees to report discomfort or concerns promptly.

2 Report the issue

The next step is to report the ergonomic issue to your supervisor, manager, or health and safety representative. You should explain the nature and severity of the problem, how it affects your work performance and well-being, and what you think could be done to improve it. You should also document the issue with photos, videos, or written records, and keep track of any symptoms or injuries you experience.

3 Seek solutions

The third step is to seek solutions that can reduce or eliminate the ergonomic issue. Researching best practices, consulting experts, or requesting an ergonomic assessment are all possible solutions. Adjusting your chair, desk, keyboard, mouse, monitor, or lighting to suit your height, posture, and preferences can help. Ergonomic tools, accessories, or devices can also provide support for your body and reduce strain. Additionally, changing your work habits such as taking frequent breaks, stretching, or varying your tasks can be beneficial. Participating in training, education, or wellness programs may also enhance your ergonomic knowledge and skills.
