Wie wichtig ist Ergonomie am Arbeitsplatz tatsächlich?
How important is ergonomics in the workplace really?
The physical effort that employees put in varies greatly depending on their occupation. However, this does not necessarily mean that people without physical strain in their day-to-day work have no physical problems - quite the opposite. Ergonomics in the workplace is extremely important, especially for people who mainly work in the office at one and the same office workstation. Creating optimal working conditions that ensure effective working methods and minimize health risks should therefore be a high priority for all employers, also in order to reduce absences from work and long-term damage to health. Physical complaints such as tension, chronic back problems, headaches, tennis elbow and other ailments can be prevented and counteracted by an ergonomic workplace.
