Ergonomics4Work Chairs

Over 90 % of jobs involve prolonged sitting and using a computer, and when an individual begins to experience discomfort then an assessment of their working station should be undertaken. These assessments are often referred to as Ergonomic or DSE Assessments (Display Screen Equipment) and can, in special cases, be referred to the Access to Work Government initiative for help with funding the correct equipment. Research shows that 60% of adults could benefit from adjusting their work station equipment and invisible issues such as, tired eyes, back ache, headaches or RSI’s are very common. If left unresolved, these issues can have a huge impact on performance and morale, resulting in time off work and/or long term mobility issues. The key to healthy sitting is to maintain a natural “S” shaped spinal curve. This will minimise uneven compression of the spinal discs and muscular strain whilst improving respiration and circulation.
