Computer workstation ergonomics

Long-term work with computer spent in non-physiological position may be the cause of many health problems, but also leads to less performance of the workers. For these reasons, both employees and employers should be concerned about the correct ergonomics of working places and jointly create a healthy and pleasant environment for work. The topic of this thesis is very relevant due to the fact that still more people have been working in administration and with computer. The purpose of the thesis was to determine the level of implementation of ergonomic requirements on workstation for employees working in the office and suggest corrective actions to improve their working conditions. The survey was conducted in the administrative facility of a company, where the employees work in open space offices. Data were obtained using a questionnaire survey and subjective views of the workers were objectively verified by ergonomic measurement of workstations according to the valid legislation. For the research were established the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: The Ergonomics of workstations is inconvenient. Hypothesis 2: Workers with health problems of the musculoskeletal system more often sit in a wrong position during work. Hypothesis 3: Length of continuous work with the computer has an impact on the incidence of health problems. Hypothesis 4: Comfort at work is affected by the use of ergonomic aids. After evaluating the results, it was found that the only hypothesis that was confirmed was hypothesis 3. The other hypotheses were refuted. According to the results employees have got appropriate working conditions. T results will be provided to employer, who can make the conditions even more improved and more accurately adjusted. In addition, a flyer will be created as an output for practice, which will contain picture of the correct working position and instructions on how to simply set up the furniture so that the correct position could be reached
