Have you rubbed your neck or wrists today? Do your eyes feel dry or tired at the end of the day? How about during the day? If so, you may be at risk for an ergonomic injury and will benefit from changing the way you use your computer at work.
This workshop is designed as a hands-on step-by-step review of all elements of a basic computer workstation and how to set things up for optimal comfort and efficiency. We will be using live webcam, photos and screen sharing to learn as we do.
At the end of the workshop, you will have made modifications to your workstation and taken firm steps towards injury reduction. Come prepared to share photos of your workstation, or, if you prefer, turn on your webcam for live assistance.
In addition to the basics, we’ll review any special cases such as bifocal use, sit-stand workstations and multiple displays.
You will have multiple opportunitites to bring up questions and concerns to ensure you’re getting the most out of this interactive experience.
