Avoiding Office Fatigue With Ergonomics
May 7th 2019
More than 31 million Americans are currently suffering from back pain. But these pains are just one of the health problems that US office workers experience because of their jobs. The National Center for Health Statistics shows that about 20% of the problems are caused by incorrect working posture, resulting in a 25% decrease in productivity.
Obviously, these problems translate into a significant amount of office fatigue that can be avoided with ergonomics. It is very necessary to provide ergonomic working conditions, where duties can be performed with low energy consumption and without risk of illness or accidents.
Choosing furniture will be relatively easy if the owner addresses to specialized manufacturers. Most of them have experience and teams able to find solutions that match as much as possible the needs of the beneficiary, as well as its financial possibilities and the office style. Trying to get the best price, the customer can contact multiple vendors and select one that delivers the best ergonomic office chairs and furniture and provides onsite installation.
Another aspect that should be kept in mind is that the implementation of furniture is never definitive and some modifications may be necessary after a while; this is why furniture made up of small, removable, easy-to-move modules (independent double-sided shelves, ergonomic or folding seats, desks that may take different forms are only a few examples) should be prioritized.
