IOP2603 Assignment 1 (COMPLETE ANSWERS) Semester 1 2026 - DUE 23 March 2026; 100% Correct solutions and explanations. An ergonomics checklist is a structured, logically ordered guideline for evaluating a workstation or any other human-technology system. A checklist covers all the areas that are, or could be, important and ensures that nothing is skipped. The result of an ergonomics evaluation using a checklist is a written document that can be used to improve an existing workstation or human-technology system. An ergonomics checklist may be compared to, for example, the checklist that an airline pilot completes before taking off to ensure that every control has been inspected and that nothing has been overlooked. Checklists have two primary uses: they serve, firstly, as a memory aid and, secondly, as a tool for systematic data collection (Helander, 2006). You should be aware of the cost-benefit ratio of suggested improvements and always remember that a checklist is only a superficial technique to identify problems. Other methods or techniques can be used for more detailed investigations. These methods or techniques include performance measures, stress measurement, psychophysiological methods (GSR), questionnaires, accident analyses, body rhythms and shift work design, error analyses, human-computer interactions, cognitive-abilities testing, illumination measurement, cognitive systems design, and information visualization (Helander (2006, p. 38) based on Stanton NA, Hedge A, Brookhuis K, Salas E & Hendrick HW (2004). Handbook of human factors and ergonomics methods. Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press. Also, remember Barnetson and Foster's (2016) contribution to the previous study unit. Activity (1) Complete the checklist below to evaluate your workstation. If you do not have a workstation, use your study area. You could even assess someone else's workstation. (2) Compare the information you collected using the checklist (Column A) with the ideal specifications (Column B) discussed in the previous study units. You must also refer to the applicable data and recommendations in this study guide or the literature. (3) In column C, indicate the deviation between columns A and B. Suggest ways to improve the design and layout of your workstation (Column D). Use the space provided in the second part of the

ERGONOMICS CHECKLIST: WORKSTATION
ASSESSMENT
DESCRIPTION OF WORKPLACE
Area Investigated: Study Area

The area investigated in this ergonomic assessment is a personal study area used as a
workstation for academic activities. The study area is located in a quiet section of the house
and is primarily used for activities such as reading textbooks, writing assignments, attending
online lectures, conducting internet research, and preparing academic work.

The study area consists of a study desk, a chair, a laptop computer, books, stationery, and
lighting equipment. These components collectively form the human–technology system where
interaction occurs between the user and the equipment used for studying.

The purpose of investigating this area is to determine whether the current design and layout of
the study workstation meet recommended ergonomic standards. By evaluating each element
of the workstation and comparing it with ideal ergonomic specifications, it becomes possible to
identify weaknesses in the design and propose improvements that could enhance comfort,
productivity, and overall study performance.




Equipment Used During Study Activities
 Laptop computer used for typing assignments and accessing online learning materials.
 External keyboard and mouse for improved typing posture and control.
 Study desk used to support the computer and reading materials.
 Chair used for seating during long study sessions.
 Desk lamp used to provide additional lighting when studying.
 Books, notebooks, and stationery required for reading and writing tasks.
