Arrange frequently used tools, utensils and instruments so that they are within an easy arm's reach. Adjust chairs, keyboards and monitors to suit the user. Purchase hand tools that are designed to allow natural postures and grips. It may be desirable to provide individual hand tools, with different handle and grip sizes for people with small or large hands. Some tools are designed for left or right handed users.
Static postures place as much stress on muscles and tendons as repetitive work.
Adjust workstation layouts or change how tasks are done to ensure occasional posture change. Eliminate or reduce high force tasks. Tasks that require force are likely to cause harm. Use hand tools that work properly. Make sure workstations are the right height.
