About

Viiu Tuulik is a prominent researcher in occupational health and ergonomics, with a focus on the evolving challenges of modern workplaces. Her work critically examines how the rise of information technology and logistics has introduced new physical overload factors, such as compulsory working positions and monotonous, one-sided muscle strain. In her highly regarded 2008 paper, "Innovations at Workplace: Improvement of Ergonomics," which has garnered 20 citations, Tuulik highlights that monotonous work is not only a physical hazard but also a significant psychological risk factor. This dual perspective has been instrumental in shaping contemporary ergonomic interventions. Her research underscores the need for adaptive workplace designs that mitigate both musculoskeletal and mental strain, making her a key voice in the field. With a career dedicated to improving worker well-being, Tuulik’s contributions have influenced safety protocols and ergonomic standards, particularly in sectors undergoing rapid technological transformation. Her work remains a vital resource for students and researchers seeking to understand the intersection of innovation, human factors, and occupational health.
