ABSTRACT
This chapter utilizes ergonomic requirements from health and safety legislation in Liechtenstein as well as criteria from ergonomic theory to analyse physical ergonomic aspects of computer workstations in the office and to evaluate the risks upon users. There has been little research of the ergonomic design of computer workstations with regard to Liechtenstein, a tiny country situated on the north side of the alpine chain and a member country of the European Economic Area. In order to keep the wrists in a straight neutral posture the users were advised to take the use of wrist supports and split keyboards into consideration. The users were provided with ergonomically designed office chairs and flat panels with good image quality. However, workstation elements should not to be considered in isolation from the total working system. Although each workstation has unique features, there were several ergonomic shortcomings that appeared to occur frequently.
