Fatigue at work

Do you suffer from fatigue at work?

Tired arms and legs. Exhausted at the end of the day? Worn out by the weekend?

Many employers now are using the services of specialists in workplace design to look closely at individual work areas or workstations and to suggest modifications or new bits of equipment that can help.

These experts are called ergonomists and have been responsible for such innovations as chairs to protect the lumbar spine, anti glare computer screens and anti fatigue mats in factories or workshops.

At first their efforts were slated as superficial but now good research shows that what they do really works.

How much attention does your employer pay to your health?
