Workstation Ergonomics
The word “ergonomics” comes from Greek and translates
roughly to the study of human work. Having
ergonomically designed industrial workstations not
only increases productivity and reduces the rate of
mistakes, but also improves employee health and
therefore improves morale and the working environment.
mk industrial workstations can be quickly and
easily adjusted each employee’s particular physical
needs. This includes a height adjustment mechanism
and a design that allows the workpiece, the tools and
the bins for providing materials to be optimally positioned
within the employee’s reach for the particular
task. This helps employees avoid unhealthy postures
and optimises productivity. Providing optimal lighting
for the particular task is another critical factor that
mk has incorporated with its variable lighting system.

Zone 4 Extended one-hand zone
The option to sit or stand can be provided
with a height adjustment mechanism or using
a chair and footrest, as shown here. This
reduces strain on the employee’s spine and
intervertebral discs.
