Article Abstract:
An increase in the number of compensatory awards given to workers who claim their injuries are due to a negligent work environment is giving impetus to new office furniture installations. These are not always ergonomically correct. The addition of computers in the office space can cause crowding and discomfort. Many problems can be avoided by consulting suppliers before the installation of furnishings and equipment. Proper work habits and rest periods can alleviate stress problems.
