Work benches and workstations are equipment or furnishings
that create an efficient space in which people perform a set of specific
duties. The purpose of work benches is twofold: to create a safe environment
for a worker, and to offer an efficient place for carrying out duties.
Proper work benches design remains important in order for workers to
accomplish given tasks effectively. Efficient work benches are those
at which workers can easily organize, access and utilize items necessary
for the accomplishment of their duties. Those products made by work bench
manufacturers are used in many sectors of industry to help increase the
productivity of workers. Industrial
workstations can be custom made to
fit a particular environment and ensure that the workers are able optimize
the use of their work areas.
Ergonomic work benches are work benches created to accommodate workers
throughout the completion of various tasks. Ergonomics is the study of
human interaction with work environments. Ergonomics focuses on adapting
the work environment to the worker, instead of forcing the worker to
adapt to his or her work environment. Ergonomic
workstations ensure that
workers are relaxed and comfortable, which leads to increased output
of work. The implementation of ergonomic principles is important for
reducing stress and eliminating injuries. This is important for both
factory and manufacturing settings and office settings. Injuries resulting
from ergonomic issues consist of about a third of the 1.7 million work
injuries per year.
Key elements of ergonomic work benches include adjustability and modularity,
which remain especially important when more than one person must utilize
the same work benches. Adjustable work benches can be altered to fit
the needs of the workers. The height of work benches desks, chairs and
in some cases desk drawers, cabinets and keyboard platforms should be
easily modifiable. Modular work benches contain components that can be
rearranged. Modular shelves, drawers and cabinets can be situated in
various configurations to suit the needs of workers.
Numerous types of work benches exist, most of which are tailored to specific
applications. Industrial
workbenches, work benches, computer work benches
and command operation centers represent some of the most common furniture
produced by work bench manufacturers. Work benches are necessary in almost
every business in every industry. Workers who rely on those products
provided by work bench manufacturers to assist in the performance of
their duties include: office workers, call center staff, factory workers,
clean room workers, assembly line workers, operators and air traffic
controllers. The benefits of reducing stress and worker injuries by purchasing
custom work benches far outweigh the costs.

Types of Work Benches
Command operating centers,
common in information technology fields, accommodate technological equipment
for organizing computer and electronic equipment, including display
monitors, keyboards and processors, in a readily accessible structure.
Computer workstations
are important for computer workers because they prevent repetitive strain
injuries. Ergonomic stations have a variety of important components,
including keyboard platforms, wrist pads, document holders and special
lighting, as well as adjustable chairs and footrests.
Ergonomic workstations
consist of furniture that can be adjusted to overcome repetitive strain
injury, carpal tunnel syndrome and muscular skeletal disorder, which
can be caused by uncomfortable and static workstations. Adjustable ergonomic
workstation designs conform to special needs.
Industrial workbenches
are sturdy tables used in the construction and repair of industrial
products and have adjustable shelves, drawers and height. Workbenches
are common in the woodworking and automotive industries.
Industrial workstations
accommodate a variety of industrial applications, including shipping
and receiving, packaging and mail sorting. Industrial workstations,
which improve organization and efficiency, are available in a variety
of setups containing drawers, shelves and side tables.
Lab furniture includes the various pieces that are used in laboratory work stations.
Modular workstations, or cubicles, have components that can be rearranged into different configurations.
Technical furniture
creates a workstation that is able to hold large amounts of computer
and electronic equipment and is sturdier than regular office furniture.
Workstations are spaces designed for specific tasks.
Work Benches Terms
Anthropometry –
The study of the relative measurement of bodily dimensions, including
height, weight, and girth; these measurements are considered when analyzing
workstations.
Anti-Fatigue Mats – Cushioned
padding that reduces strain placed on legs and feet during standing.
Biomechanics – The study of
the effects of biology and movement on the human body. Particular attention
is paid to muscular movement.
Bursitis – Inflammation of
the bursa, small lubrication-secreting sacs located between bones and
tendons, caused by overexertion.
Carpal Tunnel – The fibrous
tunnel that runs through the wrist, or carpal, bones, carrying necessary
tendons to the hand.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – A repetitive
strain injury (RSI); Common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include
numbness, burning, tingling, and wrist and hand pain. The disorder afflicts
those who use their wrist in repetitive actions on a regular basis, including
typists, computer workers and some sports players and musicians.
DeQuervain’s Tenosynovitis (DeQuervain’s
Disease) - A repetitive strain injury (RSI) caused by inflammation
of the tissues surrounding tendons on the radial side of the wrist. Like
carpal tunnel syndrome, this disorder affects those who use their wrists
repetitively; the disorder can be treated with splints, medication, cortisone
injections and in advanced cases, surgery.
Engineering Controls – Any physical
alteration of a production facility including workstations, equipment
or other applicable parts of the work area to lower or avert risk factor
exposure
Epicondylitis – A form of tendonitis
of the elbow caused by overstressing the joints in the elbow. Symptoms
include pain during various wrist and arm movements, and treatments include
cold and heat therapy, braces, massage therapy, steroid injections and
laser treatments.
Extension – The stretching of
a joint, usually through straightening.
Median Nerve – The main nerve
running down the arm into the forearm. The median nerve is responsible
for supplying the hand with feeling and movement.
Musculoskeletal System – The
system containing bones, tendons, muscles, ligaments and cartilage.
Nerve – Fibers that transmit
signals or impulses between the brain and body parts; these impulses direct
feeling and movement of the body.
Neutral Position – The bodily
position in which muscles remain relaxed, not stressed. During extended
activity, neutral positions decrease the likelihood of strain and injury.
Pacing – Regulating the workers
movement rate through various work environment methods, such as pay inducements,
peer pressure or production pressure, a continuously moving conveyor at
a constant speed.
Redesign – This refers to both
an alteration to current production equipment of workplaces to render
them appropriate for additional workers, or, a reassessment of the patterns
of occurrence of tasks. The redesign is more costly to implement than
the integration of ergonomic standards in the preliminary job design.
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) –
Also referred to as Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD), this is a term given
to disorders resulting from the overuse or misuse of a group of muscles.
Static Loading (Static Exertion) –
Exertion whereby the same stance is maintained throughout the duration
of the action.
Tendon – Body part responsible
for connecting muscles and bones as well as relaying movement from muscles
to bones.
Tendonitis – Inflammation of
the tendons; usually occurs in conjunction with tenosynovitis.
Tenosynovitis – Inflammation
of the protective coverings guarding the tendons.
Trigger Finger – Inflammation
of finger tendons that causes the finger to stick in a particular position.
Trigger finger is caused by overuse or misuse of the tendons.
