Our Research proposal objectives are to determine if ergonomic workstations in the clinical laboratory will reduce the risk of occupational injuries. Our literature review will analyze published data regarding ergonomic implementation in the workplace. We will then formulate an argument to explain the purpose of our study. Conclusively, a research design will express our recommendations for how to develop and implement successful ergonomic workstations for clinical laboratory technologists. Literature Review As a result of modern day technology, extended computer use has become more common in the work environment. Research shows a correlation between an increase in neck and upper back musculoskeletal pain and intensive computer use among workers. The increase in work-related upper quadrant musculoskeletal pain (WRUQMP) is both an individual and economic concern; because of significant economic costs due to employees being absent, decreased productivity and health care expenses. Multiple studies have been conducted in order to reduce WRUQMP among workers by implementing ergonomic interventions in workstations.…

Studies have shown that this is the most worked muscle in the quadriceps muscle group during a football game (See diagram 1). Another mark will be made on the participant’s bicep femoris (See diagram 2). Two marks will be placed on the ground a metre apart. One mark will be for the participant to stand on and the other for the researcher to stand on to ensure the iPad measuring is under similar variables every time, which will help to improve accuracy. The second way to measure temperature will…
When conducting company business, for example, emails, voicemails, telephone extensions, and internet usage employee’s computers are only to be used for company business.

Brian Ziegler the question remains to whether he should have had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the contents of his work computer? I think that as this case presents information which stated, “when the employee were hired, they were told that their computer use was subject to monitoring and that computers should not be used for personal business” this information should have been sufficient enough for Mr. Ziegler to only use his work computer for intended work purposes (Walsh, 2013, p.…
