Office Ergonomics Book Reveals Early-Stage Solutions

Common Office Environments Studied

BOULDER, Colo., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Chasen Group, a company that
provides comprehensive and cost-effective ergonomic interventions to prevent
workplace injuries, increase employee comfort, and improve productivity, today
announced that John Wiley and Sons, the foremost publisher of scientific and
medical journals has published a book titled "Safety Manager's Guide to Office
Ergonomics," written by Craig Chasen, president.

Mr. Chasen's book is targeted toward company safety managers, HR
representatives, facilities technicians, and those responsible for providing
ergonomic assistance for employees, but do not have an extensive background in
ergonomics. The book focuses on common office environments so that readers
can easily duplicate the proven solutions suggested. Drawing from more than
4000 ergonomic evaluations he personally conducted during the last 10 years,
Chasen's expertise is documented using case studies with typical challenges
and their successful outcomes.

"Ergonomics-related discomfort is an increasingly prevalent workplace injury,
especially for those who use computers all day," commented Mr. Chasen, a
Certified Ergonomic Evaluation Specialist (CEES). "While the impact of those
injuries can become extremely debilitating and expensive to treat, the
solutions are not complex when implemented in the early stages of symptom
development. I wrote this book so more people can learn how to identify and
treat ergonomic issues early, resulting in employees who are more comfortable
and more productive."

The book depicts the typical office ergonomics problems, and provides
solutions for resolving ergonomics-related discomfort. It features more than
175 workstation photos that illustrate problematic postures and succinctly
show exactly how they can be corrected.

The book is now available worldwide through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble,
Borders, Target, and many others, including publisher Wiley & Sons:
