4 Things to Consider While Selecting an Office Chair

As highlighted in our catalogue, selecting the right office chair is crucial for ergonomic workspace planning. Here are the four essential factors:

• Lumbar Support: Proper lower back support maintains the natural curve of your spine and prevents slouching during long working hours
• Seat Height Adjustability: Your feet should rest flat on the floor with thighs parallel to the ground – typically between 16-21 inches from floor
• Seat Depth and Width: There should be 2-4 inches between the back of your knees and the seat edge when sitting back comfortably
• Armrest Adjustability: Armrests should support your arms without raising your shoulders, allowing elbows to rest at 90-degree angles

Document Holders

Positioned between keyboard and monitor or beside the screen, document holders reduce neck strain from looking down at papers while typing.

Ergonomic Workspace Assessment Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We meet with you to understand your workforce demographics, job functions, and any existing ergonomic concerns or injury patterns. We discuss your goals for productivity improvement and employee wellbeing.

Step 2: Workspace Audit

Our ergonomics specialists conduct on-site assessments of current workstations, measuring desk heights, chair adjustments, monitor positions, and workflow patterns. We photograph and document existing conditions.

Step 3: Employee Feedback

We gather input from employees about comfort levels, pain points, and suggestions for improvement. This first-hand information is invaluable for creating solutions that truly address user needs.

Step 4: Ergonomic Recommendations

Based on our assessment, we provide detailed recommendations including:

• Appropriate chair selections for different job functions
• Desk height and workstation configuration recommendations
• Monitor positioning solutions
• Accessory requirements (keyboard trays, foot rests, etc.)
• Sit-stand workstation recommendations where appropriate

Step 5: Implementation

We supply and install all recommended ergonomic furniture and accessories, ensuring proper setup and adjustment for each workstation.

Step 6: Training & Follow-up

We provide training to employees on proper workstation adjustment and ergonomic best practices. Follow-up assessments ensure the solutions are working effectively.
