Ergonomic Solutions - Work Painlessly!

by Flo Ferrara

Everyone knows a friend or a coworker who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome or from lower back pain.  Or, we may even have suffered ourselves. And how about those days when your eyes are straining to see the screen and the thought of another minute of computer work drives us mad?
 
Chuck Masi, Vice President of Sales and Service at ErgonoMix Associates (EMX) will show us how best to reduce or eliminate these risks from our work environment. That alone makes this September 2 General Meeting a “Must Attend.”
 
There are many things to keep in mind as we hunch over our keyboards at our desks all day.  Proper posture, made easier by good lumbar support; the correct height of the keyboard and monitor; a particular mouse for best wrist positioning. These are just a few issues on which Chuck can enlighten us. 
 
EMX has been around since 1992 designing ergonomic solutions for people seeking to address the issues of health risks and productivity loss related to office computer use.
 
Headquartered in Old Greenwich, Connecticut, EMX was founded by C. E. ("Bill") Ridenour after a long career as a Senior Executive Director of Manufacturing and Human Resources for Olin Chemicals.
 
EMX maintains long-standing relationships with ergonomic academics, product design firms and manufacturers that are constantly reviewing new and improved ergonomic solutions. Their web site shows us a large collection of products designed to make us more comfortable.
 
EMX provides a one-stop solution for corporate accounts as well as the small businesses group, home office users and telecommuters. Training programs are available as well.
 
A perusal of www.ergonomixusa.com clearly shows that ErgonoMix Associates are prepared to help you tackle whatever ails you in your workspace – wherever that may be.  Who knows, with Chuck’s help you could feel like dancing a jig or throwing a Frisbee around on the grass at the end of your workday; instead of sitting in a Jacuzzi nursing your office wounds.
