Sue,
About a year ago I got "Ergonomics for beginners - a quick
reference guide" by J.Dul & b.Weerdmeester (ISBN 0748400796).
I paid
around £10 for it, but just 'Amazoned' it and price is £40. Must
admit, I would not buy it at this price but if you can get hold of an
old(much)cheaper copy, it is worth it. Has some useful summary
checklists.
Ed.

exercise caution in compiling a list of alternative non standard

Equipment. Here at UoK once someone has had a basic assessment and

equipment

and things go out of

latest new gizmo
>irrespective of whether it's the right one. All ULD's
should get
>referred to OH and we have a small stock of ergonomic
keyboards and mice
>that we loan out so the individual can try before
their department buys.
>That way we get to monitor the health problem
and money doesn't get
>wasted on inappropriate equipment.
