What should I consider when
buying / selecting a chair?
It is important to note
that selecting chairs is an important part for the safe work
environment! Most users in office or those working from home, needs
a good piece of chair for comfortable seating and to prevent poor
seating positions and causing strain on your back. While management
always stress that human resource is an important part of their
"company assets"; however, most managers / purchasing officers
select chairs based on estatic reasons, low budget and
standardisation to suit "average users". Some purchasing officers
even reason that the chairs should still fit the other users / "what
if" the users quit their job and replaced with other users?
However, providing a chair specifically designed for each individual
is not practical. The only solution is to provide workers with
adjustable chairs that can accommodate a maximum range of people.
Some tips on selecting
chairs:
A seat that adjusts for both the height and
tilt,
A seat that does not put pressure on the back of thighs or
knees (to prevent poor blood circulation),
A seat with a front
edge that curves towards the floor,
Breathable, non-slippery
fabric on the seat and back rest,
A backrest shaped to support
the lower back,
A stable five-point castor wheel base,
A
swivel mechanism,
Armrests that can be adjusted to the elbow
height when your upper arms are hanging down and your forearms are
at about a 90 degree angle to the upper arms,
Armrests that do
not interfere with free movements within the workstation.
It
is important to choose chairs with above consideration and remember
each individual has different body built, height, weight and seating
postures; hence select a proper chair that gives good seating
comfort to yoursef and your staff - The bottom line? "A healthy,
safer work place for everyone and increasing productivity in
return".
