Article/Chapter Title: Ergonomics in the Mohs Laboratory
Abstract: Ergonomic hazards exist in the Mohs laboratory that contribute to work-related musculoskeletal disorders Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) in Mohs surgeons and histotechnicians. Routine tasks performed in the Mohs lab include grossing, embedding, microtomy Microtomy , staining Staining , and microscopic evaluation. Furthermore, these tasks are performed with precision and efficiency Efficiency as patients wait in the office for slides to be processed and assessed. WRMSDs can lead to chronic pain Chronic pain and disability Disability , which have short and long-term effects on productivity and career longevity. © The Author(s), Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
