Ergonomics 1 - Q2

Q2) The second design is preferred.

In the first design, the workplace is too cramped as the desk has far too many items on it and your desk being too cramped might be frustrating when you try to look for some equipment on the unorganised desk. The equipments are not technologically advanced. These may make the person in the workplace uncomfortable at work. Therefore, it is not a conducive environment to work in.

In the second design, the items are much more effective and advanced as there is more versatility and also useful for the work supposed to be done in the office. Some of the equipment used also helps to save space on the workplace and therefore, it will not be too cramped. It is also more relaxing and the person can concentrate easily on his work. Therefore, the second design provides more comfort than the first one.
