Ergonomic Principles - Force
Definition
Force is the requirement to exert power through muscular contraction.
Risk
Force becomes a risk when we are required to exert more muscular force than we are capable of.
It is important that the keys on the keyboard can be pressed easily and with little force. High finger forces, combined with high repetition rate increases the risk of injury.
When lifting, whether at home or at the office, it is important to focus on keeping the three (3) curves in your spine and to use your arms and legs to lift.
