-Computers are part of social & work lives
-OrganisRes worldwide would struggle to be productive in 21st century without computers
-Use of computers for long hrs + poor work practices ? aches, pains & disabling injuries
-Research show link between: musculoskeletal + other health problems ? working long uninterrupted hours + poor posture + inappropriate working conditions/equipment/habits
-Be careful when you work with computers or in an aluminium foundry (AKA a ).
-Being able to access ergonomic requirements & providing basic ergonomic advice (with required to documents) to appropriate people requires efficient + good working knowledge of ergonomics & its affect.

Ergonomics Defined
-Ergonomics = 'the scientific study of how the worker interacts with equipment and machinery used, tasks and activities undertaken and their working conditions.'

Organisation can influence ergonomics in a foundry such as this or a .
