Tables & Chairs

Posted by : Unknown Rabu, 06 Agustus 2014

In using tables and chairs for working or using computers, you need the ones that's good for your health.

TABLES

Tables required should have:

Adjustable height. The top of your work surface should be at your elbow height.
Monitor arms. The monitor should be positioned directly in front of you with the top of the monitor just below eye level.
Footrests. If your work surface can't be lowered or raised to accommodate your elbow height, you can raise your chair and use a footrest. The footrest should be large enough for both feet.
Keyboard tray. Can be used to bring the keyboard and mouse to elbow height. Should be height and tilt adjustable.
Wide space. Materials used frequently should be located within easy reach. By keeping materials you do not use frequently out of reach, you will have to get out of your chair for them. This will promote blood circulation and reduce overall discomfort.
Document holders.

CHAIRS

Some basic pointers in choosing a good chair:

The backrest should be long enough that it gives you both lumbar support at the bottom of your back and comes at least far enough up to support the upper (thorasic) area of your back, roughly between your shoulder blades. The chair should allow you to lean the backrest forwards and backwards.

It should be possible to move the backrest up and down and fix it in position.

Allow you to move the bottom starting position of the backrest laterally, thereby allowing you to adjust how deeply you sit in the chair.

The seat pad should be comfortable and supportive and be able to be tilted forwards and backwards.

If your chair has arm rests, then these should be able to be moved up and down and it should be possible to remove them if required.

The chair should be able to run freely on castors.
