BROCKWELL'S BULLETIN:

Þ Ergonomics stresses are one of the major causes of work-related injury. Frequently, even minor adjustments in worker position work-station set up can alleviate major problems.

Þ It never hurts to ask the employee who works at a particular station what changes might be made to decrease physical distress.
