Ergonomically designed workstationshave direct bearing on the comfort and safety of office computer users.
Tremendous usage of computers in most offices of emerging economies have
however, not seen accompanying applications of ergonomics in the design of
computer workstations despite the numerous benefits.
Injuries and discomforts
therefore have higher propensity to occur since most offices formally designed
for paperbased work now accommodate computer workstations, without
corresponding redesigning. The study therefore sought to assess computer workstation designs in administrative offices at Kwame Nkrumah University ofScience and Technology, with the aim of creating awareness of ergonomics and
its application among administrative office computer users.
A
total of 150 office employees purposively sampled participated in this study.Respondents selected included secretaries, research assistants and data and
account processors.
