Effective ergonomics reduces or eliminates injuries and discomfort thus leading to an increase in productivity and job satisfaction (Archer et al., 2015). This assessment used a checklist which was designed to help in identifying office based tasks or jobs having design related hazards that may lead to decline in performance, increase the risk of musculoskeletal discomfort or pain and increase an organizational operational costs. Findings Workers in the library arrange books on shelve (Photo 2 below), use computers to make entries concerning borrowed books and returned books. Sometimes they also communicate using the telephones. Generally they are responsible for managing library data which comprises of users data and data relating to books and various articles. Workers at various stations spend most of the time using their computers. A clear look at their workstations shows that the design of the desk they use cannot accommodate all the reference materials, computer and other records. The monitor can only be placed off the center since the depth of the desk only allows for the off the center placement. Therefore, workers on various workstations usually twist their neck so they view the monitor. The study found out that the environmental condition that is noise, temperature and light was adequate. The study however singled out various ergonomic risks. Some of the ergonomic risks identified include repetitive movement, unsuitable postures, inappropriate twisting and bending movements, contact stress and static workstations. The main ergonomic stresses in the work environment especially on the administrative area in the library comprises of the contact stress and the awkward postures. The frequency of the exposure and the combination of contact stress and awkward posture exposes the employees to the risks of work related musculoskeletal disorder. Employees in this organization work at a higher pace and they are not in a position to control their work environment. Workers in the organization use computers which has their CPU stored beneath the desk. Storage of CPU beneath the desks reduces the space for leg clearance, hence making workers to position their knees outside the leg area of the desk (Photo 1 below). Workers are also seen to be twisting their torsos most of the time since the space for the leg is reduced be placing the CPU beneath the desk 9Photo 1 below). Workers put their knee outside the leg area or twist their torsos so they can put their body next to the desk and be able to reach the mouse and the keyboard. Employees of the organization are seen resting their arms at the edge of the typing desk since their working station does not allow for a wrist posture that is neutral. According to CCH (2007), the lack of a neutral wrist posture may lead to a contact stress. Awkward Postures While looking at the workstation the most important aspect to consider is someone’s posture (Kroemer, 2008). Employees in this organization spend most of their time with the torso or neck twisted. According to Kroemer (2008), twisting of torso or necks are examples of awkward postures that employees that employees experience while performing their duties. Performing tasks repeatedly in such positions leads to musculoskeletal disorders or risks such as stress on the spinal discs or stress on the joints. Contact Stress Contact stress in this organization is due to the workstation design. Employees working in various workstations rest their forearms and palms on the edge of a sharp desk. According to Bridger (2009), continuous exposure to contact stress may lead to work related musculoskeletal disorder due to reduction in the nerve conduction and irritation of tendon. Symptoms The employees reported some of the musculoskeletal disorders, for instance, pain around the neck, back and shoulder. Recommendation Provision of Headset for the Telephone Employees in the organization sometimes use the computer and the telephone at the same time. Due to this, they tilt their head towards one side at while elevating the shoulder to pick and hold the phone between the ear and the shoulder. This creates an awkward posture causing fatigue in the muscles. Therefore, it is advisable employees use headphones to avoid elevating their shoulder (Kroemer, 2008). Provision of a large overall workstation and a separate computer station to support the equipment and computers A well designed computer workstation should have an adjustable desk to allow positioning of the keyboard at the height of the workers elbow when seated (Stevenson, 2006). Adjusting of the module furniture should be done to facilitate accommodation of a large proportion of the employees (Stevenson, 2006). To accommodate workstation equipment such as monitor, materials and telephone, the station should be made large and adequate (Stevenson, 2006). Adjustable features enable workers to change their postures during working hours from standing to sitting and from sitting to standing (Kroemer, 2008). Ability to change postures helps in reducing fatigue since it allows the back muscles to rest when one stands and legs muscles to rest when one gets seated (Stevenson, 2006). Removal of the Center Drawer and Clearance of the space beneath the Desk Storage of CPU beneath the desks reduces the space for leg clearance, hence making workers to position their knees outside the leg area of the desk (Marras, 2006). Workers are also seen to be twisting their torsos most of the time since the space for the leg is reduced be placing the CPU beneath the desk. Workers put their knee outside the leg area or twist their torsos so they can put their body next to the desk and be able to reach the mouse and the keyboard. Removal of the center drawer and clearance of the space beneath the desk will enable workers to avoid twisting their legs and be able to seat comfortably (Marras, 2006). The organization also should avail small task chairs so workers can be able to position themselves very close to the edge of the desk (Marras, 2006). In addition, a monitor arm should be provided to the employees so they avoid bending forward or twisting their torsos. A monitor arm will enable them place their monitor directly on the keyboard front (Marras, 2006). The organization can also consider providing flat screens. Provision of a Stool Employees arranging books on the shelves were seen straining to reach the top shelves or bending to shelve below in order to arrange books (Photo 2 below). This makes them feel pain on their back (Stevenson, 2006). The organization should therefore provide these employees with a looking step stool so they can use to reach the top shelves and stools having backrest so they can reach the bottom shelves comfortably (SIA, 2015). This will help reduce discomfort that leads to back pain (SWA, 2015). Redesigning of the Working area The workstations do not offer enough space for the movement of the legs and arms of the people working in the library (Photo 1 below). The organization can therefore consider redesigning various working stations so as to accommodate and offer comfort to all the employee’s body parts (COD, 2015). For instance they can consider a semi-circle workstation or provide desks that can be used from both sides (CCPS, 2007). Photo 1: Using a Computer Photo 2: Arranging books on the shelves Conclusion Effective ergonomics reduces or eliminates injuries and discomfort thus leading to an increase in productivity and job satisfaction. As discussed above, adoption of administrative controls consisting of the policies and work practices designed to reduce or eliminate work related musculoskeletal disorders’ exposure is important. An organization should usually change their schedule and the way work is assigned. Administrative controls are very important since they reduce employee’s exposure to ergonomic stress thus eliminating or reducing work related musculoskeletal disorders in an organization.
