Ironically, World War II made the theory of ergonomics take off. Scientific Management analyzes and synthesizes workflow, and its ultimate goal was improving labor productivity. Industry owners developed the theory of Scientific Management. The ergonomic concept came about because people wear down and get tired. People back then relied on their exertion to get jobs done. So many of the things we take for granted today such as forklifts, pallet jacks, weren’t around. I’d love to say employee health played a factor when those seeds finally sprouted giving us ergonomics. Unfortunately, serious consideration of ergonomics wasn’t didn't occur until the beginning of the 20th Century. The seed for ergonomic thought was planted several centuries ago in publications about the physical symptoms people showed after days of repetitive work.
Let's take a look at how monitor arms have evolved into an indispensable ergonomic tool. An arm allows you to make corrections creating a better ergonomic position for your monitor. If you don't position your monitor correctly, your back and neck pay the price. Your shoulders, arms, and wrists will hurt because of not using a keyboard tray correctly or not even using one. Imagine having to sit all that time applying considering ergonomics. Those times work out to over 100 days of online time each year. If five minutes was hard using your arms, consider that office workers spend nearly 6.5 hours a day and about 1,700 hours each year sitting in front of their computer. This request may sound strange, but would you do me a favor? While sitting at your desk, raise one arm over your head steady for five minutes.ĭid you do it? If so, nicely done! If not, that's not too unexpected.
