ACCIDENT RECORDS A LOT TO HUSK
The article describes how new furniture in the Nebraska Department of Roads Highway Safety Division office is making record-keeping more accurate and productive. Information contained in the accident report has direct bearing on the design of highways, location of signage, traffic control, and the elimination of hazards. Fully adjustable keyboards and monitors can be raised, lowered or tilted to adapt to the operator's height and reach to reduce operator's stress. Wrapround work stations put materials within easy reach. It also provides ample work surfaces for laying out maps and other materials necessary for preparing accident reports. A significant improvement is reported in the accuracy of data entry as a result of the new furniture and other office improvements.
