Cornell University Ergonomics Web

About this site: Cornell University has pulled together an informative site on work design, or ergonomics, based on case studies and research completed at the university. The goal of this site is to give users solid information on how to choose equipment and develop work habits that reduce the risk of injury on the job. The site also provides plenty of tips on ergonomic practices, as well as helpful office information on lighting and indoor air quality. (http://ergo.human.cornell.edu/)

-  Pluses: The helpful tips are easy to implement, and can be applied both home and office computer stations.

-  Minuses: It's difficult to sort through tedious reports to find the more useful tip and checklist pages.

-  Best feature: The tips, guidelines, and shopping advice in the "Ergonomics Information" section will educate you in everything from setting up your workstation to using a computer mouse properly.
