Making visual ergonomics modifications to your workplace
I can help you identify, quantify and solve visual ergonomics issues you may have in your workplace.
Some of the projects I have assisted other organisations with include:
- Addressing glare from windows and from artificial lights.
- Arranging furniture and equipment within an office to enable good workflow and good lines of sight.
- Modifying the design and arrangement of visually intense tasks to help improve the posture of workers who perform the task.
I have also worked with individual workers and their managers to help solve the worker’s visual discomfort in the workplace. Some of the issues I have assisted with include:
- Discomfort associated with glare from artificial lighting and from windows.
- Headaches and visual discomfort when using visual displays.
- Modifications to work/workstations to cater for people with vision difficulties.
- Setting up visual display technology at workstations to enable good work flow.
- Arrangement of furniture and equipment within an office to enable good workflow and good lines of sight.
Here is an article describing how I assisted a lady with low vision (caused by keratoconus) to modify her workstation to improve work flow.
Long J (2011) Users of assistive technology also require assistance with ergonomics.
