Executive Summary

Attention to workplace ergonomics has fallen to the wayside for many businesses, brought down by a global recession and the repeal of ergonomic legislation in the US.

More than ever, iWorkers today are tethered to workstations and mobile devices. Though many have gained flexibility in where they work and what tools they use, they continue to risk repetitive stress and eye strain injuries.
