Dear Ms. Franconi,
Enclosed you will find a report titled “Ergonomic Furniture Quality in IUP’s Leonard Hall.” I am sending you this report because I know that in your capacity as head of equipment purchasing, you are in a position to direct the buying of new furniture for IUP classrooms, and I feel my report may be of use to you in performing this task.
I am a safety science student at IUP taking a course on technical writing. As part of that course, I conducted an ergonomic study on the quality of furniture available to students taking classes in Leonard Hall. I examined 5 classrooms and found 7 chair types and 5 table designs. Using a range of chair and table combinations, I measured levels of back strain in volunteer students caused by 45 minutes of writing activity. I followed Orchard’s back strain measurement method to collect my data.
My research brought to light the following problems:
- 3 chair types caused excessive strain
- a number of tables were dangerously unstable
- one common table design was too high, which also led to excessive back strain
A more detailed analysis is included in my report.
Based on my findings, I would recommend a more complete review of building furniture. I believe you will want to order some replacement furniture soon, especially since injuries to students caused by defective IUP furniture may lead to expensive law suits.
I hope you find my report informative and useful. Feel free to contact me at 555-1000 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Patrick Reilly
