Ergonomics Class for Safety Professionals

You are the safety professional at a pipeline transmission facility. You have one operator in the control room on each of three eight-hour shifts. You have received complaints from one of the operators (a 5-foot tall, small-boned woman) who has stated she is experiencing back pain, leg pain, neck pain, and arm and hand pain due to the layout of the work station.

In one page, explain how you will resolve her physical issues with this work station. Remember to address the biomechanical, physiological, and anthropometric aspects of this problem.
