Workplace Ergonomics - Tips to Achieve A Comfortable Work Environment

I first began to appreciate the importance concerning ergonomics in the workplace when I began to work in an office setting almost 10 years ago. Prior to that, I was aware that in certain scenarios following periods of heavy typing while at a keyboard, my wrists would be sore for some time afterwards. But at that time, I did not fully grasp just what it was that was causing my discomfort. Shortly after beginning work with my current employer, I became familiar with the term known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that results from the compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel of the wrist. For an illustration showing the location of the median nerve in the wrist, you may go to the website Wikipedia.org and begin a search using the words Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. If this condition goes unchecked, it can lead to discomfort levels in the wrists ranging from mild to moderate and severe. A common symptom experienced is a tingling sensation ranging from the thumb and up through the index finger.

The wrists are not the only portions of the body that can be subject to pain and discomfort from prolonged usage of a computer while sitting at a desk. The elbows, shoulders, neck and back are also potential areas of concern that can pose serious problems over the course of time if appropriate preventive measures are not put into place. Headaches can also result if you are sitting too close to the monitor or if there is too much reflective glare from existing lighting.

Floor Protector Pads

A few months after beginning work at my new office, I began to experience mild inflammation in my right wrist. I spoke to my supervisor to appraise him of the situation and that is where I learned about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. He also suggested that an ergonomic evaluation be performed at my workstation with the intent of avoiding any other situations that could possibly arise. A subsequent visit to my doctor confirmed that in fact I did have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Some of my coworkers underwent surgery to correct the symptoms they were experiencing from Carpal Tunnel but I was intent on doing everything I could to make sure I did not need the operation as well.

The term ergonomics originates from the Greek ergon, meaning work, and nomos, meaning natural laws. The overall concept of ergonomics takes into account of ensuring that the equipment being used as well as the overall environment that it is being used in is fitted to the needs of the worker with the intention of preventing repetitive motion injuries. If you are not sure what a repetitive motion injury feels like, imagine how your knees would feel after walking up and down a flight of stairs for an extended period of time.

A staff member at my office who had received specialized training in ergonomics came to my desk and took a series of measurements. Things such as my height, the height of my desk, the angle of my legs when sitting, the angle of my elbows while typing, wrist angle, type of keyboard being used as well as angle of my vision in relation to the height of the monitor were noted. From there, various adjustments of the height for my monitor, desk and chair were made and after that I was told that everything should be fine. The recommendation was made for me to ensure that I took a break now and then and rotated my wrists back and forth to minimize any strain resulting from prolonged keyboarding.

After receiving a promotion to supervisor and reporting to my current office, I was selected to receive training for the purpose of learning how to conduct an ergonomic evaluation. It was there that I learned about the necessary adjustments of a person's workstation so that as a result, the staff member would be sitting in what is called a position of neutral posture. A neutral posture position will basically result in your legs being at a right angle when sitting, your forearms and wrists will be straight when typing and the angle of your seat will be at 90 degrees with proper lumbar support being provided. The shoulders should also be straight, not hunched up or slouching. Your level of horizontal vision should be such that you are looking at the top of the actual monitor screen with the angle of your neck being perpendicular to the floor. To view an illustration that outlines proper posture while using a computer at a workstation, click here.

A wide variety of ergonomic equipment is available for use in the workplace. Gel pads can be used to support the wrists when using a keyboard and mouse. Ergonomic chairs allow for various adjustments to be made with the intent of enhancing personnel comfort. A glare protector can be installed to cut down on glare from monitor screens and reduce the possibility of headaches occuring. An electric stapler can be used in place of a manual one. Braces can be worn on the wrists to provide additional support. You may wish to give thought to using a document holder that places your documents directly in front of you so that you don't have to look at them with your neck facing to the side of your monitor. Think about having an ergonomic, contoured keyboard in place if your wrists continue to bother you. It is good to have frequently used items within a 180 degree angle reach so you can get them easily without the need to lean forward and put strain on your back.

If you are one who finds yourself experiencing problems at the workplace as a result of prolonged computer and keyboard usage, bring the matter up with your supervisor. See if it is possible to have an ergonomic evaluation performed for your workstation. Simple adjustments at your desk can make a major difference in your comfort while working.

The content of this article is based upon the personal experiences of the author and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice. You can also apply suggestions outlined in this article to places at home where a computer is used. But by all means, take a proactive approach to making sure that your desk is ergonomically friendly. Don't let ignorance result in potential long-term discomfort and problems for you.

The Teen-Girl Zone - Tools to Organize Teenage Girls' Rooms

So, you have bravely decided to roam where more faint-hearted mothers dare not: The Teen-Girl Zone, a.k.a. your daughter's room! You want to help your teenage girls get organized, but you're not sure where to start. Well, as a professional organizer and mother of four teenage girls, I have a few tools to help you get your teenage girls get organized.

Floor Protector Pads

Let me encourage you by reminding you that learning any skill takes repetition, reward and coaching. I also have a small word of warning-if you have a rocky relationship with your teenage girl, this could become a bit of a power struggle. You don't want to come between her clutter and emotions. May I suggest that you do a little research and determine what "organizational type" your daughter is. Organizing for Your Brain Type, by Lana Nakone is a valuable resource that will help you decide whether your teenage girl is a people person, innovator, maintainer or prioritizer. Knowing how she needs to organize may reduce your struggles in the Teen-Girl Zone! What is the most fun schedule to get organized? Get in the Zone!

Floor Protector Pads

In the Zone

When you help a teenage girl organize her space, start with a few questions:

1. What do you love about your room?
2. What do you dislike about your room?
3. What things are in the right place that you definitely don't want to move?
4. What do you do in your room? (Sleep, dress, read, homework, etc.)
5. Do you like the color and general arrangement of your room?

Knowing the answers to these questions helps get you in the zone and guides the organizational process, helping you see how you can avoid struggle. These questions also give you an opportunity to uncover possible areas for incentive. Would your daughter enjoy new bedding or painting her room? Perhaps you can offer those as rewards to her when she has organized her room and maintained it for one month.

Prepared with the right information, you will have success in the zone.

Zoning

To a local government, zoning means determining how an area is to be used or developed-that's the kind of zoning you are going to help your teenage girl with. You know what zoning means to the average teenager! It's your job to help your teenage girl use these organizing tools to transform teenage zoning to space-use zoning.

Zone One-The Sleep Zone

It may seem obvious, but your daughter will be sleeping in the sleep zone, which includes the area immediately around your daughter's bed. You should ask her what she needs to get a good night's sleep. Make a list of those items and make sure that those items are in her sleep zone.

Some items to consider in the sleep zone are: the bed, pillows, blankets, an alarm clock, and nightstand. Depending on your daughter's habits, she may need a good lamp on her nightstand for reading; reading material; tissues; a water glass; paper and pencil; and chap stick. If there is no room for a nightstand, consider providing your daughter with a basket that can hold the things she needs that can be stowed under the bed or on a nearby shelf. A floor lamp or a lamp that can be clamped to her headboard may be good alternatives for lighting.

Here's a tip that can instantly make your daughter's room look orderly: have her make her bed every day. If this is a habit she has never developed, you could offer to buy her new bedding if she consistently makes it every day for a set period of them - one month is usually long enough to establish a new habit.

The last area to work on in the sleep zone is the space under the bed. Pull every thing out that may be lurking there. Sort through what needs to be kept in the sleep zone, what needs to be stored elsewhere, and what can be thrown away. My girls store bulky items like sleeping bags, overnight bags, and folding chairs under the bed.

Zone Two-The Clothes Zone

The Clothes Zone will probably take the most time of any zone in your teen girl's room to organize. Make sure you have time to complete this project in one session; it could take up to three hours to organize, depending on how many clothes your teen has. You will need storage boxes or bags and cleaning supplies.

I have created a process to help you get your teenage girl's clothes organized. Here are my seven steps to Clothes Zone Heaven!

Step One: Take all of her clothes out of her closet and dresser drawers and create categorized piles.

Pile 1-This season's clothes, shoes and accessories that you are wearing now. Keep only clothes that fit and that you like and use.

Pile 2-Out-of-season clothes, shoes and accessories that you are sure will fit next year and that you like and will continue to use/wear.

Pile 3-All clothes, shoes and accessories that are too small, you don't like, are stained or are beyond repair. (Bag up items to pass on to a sibling or friend. Or, you may want to take usable items to a consignment store or charity. Throw away everything that's in unusable condition!)

Step Two: Take out all games, memorabilia, toys and stuff. Decide what you will keep and what can be given away. Anything in poor repair or missing pieces should be thrown away.

Step Three: Clean the closets and drawers thoroughly while they are empty. Wipe down walls and shelves, and then vacuum the floor and cobwebs along the ceiling.

Step Four: Place this season's clothes, shoes and accessories back into the closet or dresser drawers. Hang or fold all clothes neatly. Make sure that jackets are buttoned or zipped. Group clothes by category: pants; shirts; skirts; and dresses together. Hang belts on hooks or hangers. Consider a shoe organizer, if your teen-girl has lots of shoes.

Step Five: Place off-season clothes, shoes and accessories in a clear plastic bin and store under the bed or in the attic. If your closet is big enough, you may store your office season clothes and other items in the back of your closet.

Step Six: Place all games, toys and memorabilia back in your closet on a shelf or easy to see place. If memorabilia is worth keeping, it is worth keeping well, so make sure that your teen has an appropriately sized box to store all items neatly. You will also want to take this time to help your daughter consider what items are truly worth saving and which things she might let go.

Step Seven: Now that all of your teen-girl's clothing and other belongings are neatly organized you can easily see what items she may need. Make a list and plan to purchase and replace needed items.

Now that you have completed the seven steps to Clothes Zone Heaven all your teen girl needs to do is maintain the new order. I have found that it goes well when my daughters take a few moments each week to make sure that they are keeping things stored properly. Remind your daughter to give you items that they try on and no longer fit or that become stained or otherwise un-wearable. Dealing with items as they fall out of use is easier than working through an entire closet. Also, encourage her to immediately put clothes away that she decides not to wear. It takes seconds to hang up one outfit. It can take 15 minutes or more to sort through and put away a pile of clothes!

Finally, you will want to make plans to revisit the Clothes Zone each season to repeat all seven steps.

Zone Three-The Study Zone

Zone Three is really a matter of preference. You need to consider where your daughter usually does her homework. If she most often does her homework in her room, not the kitchen table or sitting in the bonus room, then she needs a homework zone established in her room.

If she prefers sitting at desk, then have her sit down at her desk and think through all the supplies that she needs while she is working there. Ask her what she uses every day or weekly. When I am working with a client, I give items that receive regular use what I call prime real estate. Anything not related to the tasks your daughter does sitting at the desk, do not get to stay there. Keepsakes and memorabilia must be "containerized" and stored elsewhere. If your daughter prefers to work sitting on her bed or the floor, maybe all she needs is a basket of supplies that she can pull out when she is working. Next, make sure her Homework Zone is well lighted and that she has a comfortable chair.

You will also want to make sure that this zone is well supplied, include: a calendar, clear sheet protectors, notebooks, note pads, as well as pencils and pens with a carrying case.

Zoned Out

Now that you have worked through the three main zones of your daughter's room, you will almost always have items that don't fit into any of the zones. You may place these in a bin and go through them to consider whether you will keep them. Here's the test. Ask whether the item is used daily or weekly. If it is used that often, then it can stay.

With memorabilia and other items left, ask:

- Do you want to display the item-- Should the item be stored or placed in a container to keep it in good condition-- Do you want to place the item in a scrapbook or photo album-- Is there someone with whom you can share the item-

With collections ask:

- On a scale from one to ten, how much do you love this collection-- Do you need the entire collection or just a few favorites-- If the collection is important to you, are you keeping it well and where it can be enjoyed-If you both decide that a collection will be kept, assign it a shelf or container. When the space is full, attempt to purge the collection to make room for new items.

A final word of encouragement-if your daughter (or you!) struggle to let things go, try storing an item for six months. Agree that the item will be given or thrown away, if your daughter has not asked for it during that time. Remember this is a life skill! If your daughter learns to manage her possessions now, she will have less stress and be equipped to manage her own home some day.
