Does proactive ergonomics program enhance office worker health and productivity?
The investigation was conducted in connection with the move of 1500 office staff to a building with improved ergonomics. It was focused on associations between workstation features, working postures, musculoskeletal pain symptoms, and eye strain before and 18 months after implementation of a proactive ergonomic program. The outcomes were compared between the intervention and a similar reference group.
Associations between improvement of postures and less musculoskeletal pain and eye strain were confirmed. A cross association between several features and postures and improved symptoms was noted, along with improved productivity.
The study suggests that a proactive program adhering to the OSHA recommendations needs to include an individual workstation assessment to be effective in reducing symptoms and increasing productivity.
主动工效学计划是否能提高办公人员的健康和生产力?
该研究与 1500 名办公人员搬至具有改良工效学设计的办公大楼有关。该研究主要关注工作站特征、工作姿势、肌肉骨骼疼痛症状以及在实施主动工效学计划之前和之后 18 个月的眼睛疲劳之间的关联。研究结果在干预组和类似的参照组之间进行了比较。
证实了姿势改善与肌肉骨骼疼痛和眼睛疲劳减轻之间的关联。还注意到几个特征与姿势之间的交叉关联以及症状的改善与生产力的提高。
研究表明,坚持遵循 OSHA 建议的主动计划需要包括个人工作站评估,以有效减轻症状和提高生产力。
