Here is a three-step checklist that all offices must carry out at their employee’s workstation, to make sure that they are comfortable, safe and productive at the office.
Are You Sitting Right?
STEP 1: The Chair
· Push your hips as far back as they can go in the chair.
· Adjust the seat height so your feet are flat on the floor and your knees equal to, or slightly lower than, your hips.
· Adjust the back of the chair to a 100°-110° reclined angle. Make sure your upper and lower back are supported. Use inflatable cushions or small pillows if necessary. If you have an active back mechanism on your chair, use it to make frequent position changes.
· Adjust the armrests (if fitted) so that your shoulders are relaxed. If your armrests are in the way, remove them.
STEP 2: The Keyboard
A well-designed keyboard tray can provide optimal positioning of input devices. It must accommodate the mouse, enable leg space to stretch out, and have an adjustable height and tilt mechanism. The tray should not push too far away from other work materials, such as pen stand and telephone.
· Pull up close to your keyboard.
· Position the keyboard directly in front of your body.
· Determine what section of the keyboard you use most frequently, and readjust the keyboard so that section is centred with your body.
· Adjust the keyboard height so that your shoulders are relaxed, your elbows are in a slightly open position (100° to 110°), and your wrists and hands are straight.
