Ergonomically Designed Office Furniture How we can add value to your office space

Ergonomically Designed Office Furniture for a More Productive & Comfortable Workspace

According to Web MD, there are various common office injuries that can occur from a workstation that is poorly set up or made up of inferior quality furniture. If ergonomics isn’t taken into account, you can expect to experience the following health concerns:

• Musculoskeletal problems
• Vision problems
• Stress and tension

 

Ergonomically designed office furniture can help to prevent musculoskeletal injuries such as carpal tunnel and back strain. It also goes a long way towards fending off physical and mental stress, often resulting from a busy workspace that is poorly set up. Reducing the risk of office related injuries or discomfort will require you to spend some time focusing on your workstation setup and ensuring that you incorporate office furniture items that are designed to be convenient and comfortable. Form and function are vitally important, and deserve a great deal of your attention when shopping around for new furniture pieces.

When analysing your workstation and what it needs, pay close attention to the following aspects:

• The daily work process.

• Organisation of jobs and tasks.

• Team member rotation (how many team members use each area of the office and does this change on a daily basis or not at all?).

• Variety of tasks (are tasks varied or are the same functions carried out every day?).

• Requirement for speed and efficiency (are tasks and deadlines time sensitive or can team members work leisurely on projects?).

 

Some tips for creating an ergonomic workspace:

• Choose ergonomically designed office furniture that is not too big or too small for the space available.

• Choose a work surface that is large enough and also at the right height.

• Choose a supportive chair that can be adjusted and that can also maintain normal spinal curvature.

• Ensure that all of your tools and accessories are easily within reach, without having to stretch or move around too much to get to them.

• Select furniture items made from materials that breathe well, and won’t fall victim to wear and tear too easily. Selecting best quality furniture is essential.

 

Working long hours can increase an individual’s risk of experiencing injuries and discomforts in the workplace. While ergonomics is important, remember that it is also important to take regular short breaks to give both body and mind a chance to refresh.
