Best Answer

Good ergonomics in the workplace can prevent many common injuries to the workforce (i.e. you), particularly RSI or repetitive strain injury.

If a business looks after its employees, it will help them to remain productive whilst working for the company. Injuries to employees will lower productivity.

Additionally, in most civilized countries in the world, employers have a legal responsibility to their employees to ensure that they are not harmed in the workplace. In most countries RSI due to poor ergonomic practices by the business is considered an injury in the workplace, and should be taken very seriously!
