Ergonomics software belongs in a professional setting. After all, applying ergonomic principles can increase worker productivity, work quality, health, safety, and job satisfaction. Fewer work days due to injury will be lost; fewer worker’s compensation claims will result; and Occupational Safety and Health Administrator (OHSA) guidelines are more likely to be met, therefore fewer fines will be given. There are multiple potential benefits related to using professional ergonomics software.

So, what are some features that professional ergonomics software utilize? There are a variety of software available, each utilizing different ergonomic factors. Here are a few examples of possible features:

  • Rest break reminders – these help ensure that employees take the breaks they need, when they need them. Some can be timed based on how hard the employee is working at the computer. Simply taking breaks can greatly reduce the problems associated with Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). Besides, you will generally get more work productivity from an employee that takes regular breaks than one who takes no breaks at all.

  • Stretches or yoga – stretching during breaks can reduce typing injuries and other strains, pains, and fatigues related to sitting at a desk all day. Some software as animated guides to good stretches for employees to do on stretching breaks.

  • Good posture – software can remind your employees how to sit at their desks and how everything ought to be arranged for the fewest possible typing injuries to result. Some software may have a general guide come up whenever the computer is on, or it may periodically remind workers to sit up straight and check the alignment of their wrists, etc.

  • Speech recognition software – this can virtually eliminate any need to use the mouse or even the keyboard. Therefore the possibility of RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) related to typing and working at a computer are basically eliminated. Once programmed, voice recognition software can increase productivity, as well.

  • Automatic clicking – some people can get RSI from over-clicking the mouse. Certain types of professional software can eliminate the need for so much clicking action. Some software will automatic “click” the mouse whenever you stop moving the mouse. This can take some getting used to, but it can be extremely helpful.
