A discussion on office chairs
There was a meeting at our company premises last month. Three safety at work specialists were invited to discuss safety conditions at our workplace. We had been convinced that they would not notice anything out of the ordinary. We had thought they would just look at our place and say ‘everything"s ok", and then go home. But we had been wrong! It turned out that there are so many problems in here! First of all, there is something wrong with the Office chairs that we used. You know, the company never buys their own chairs; we just hire them from a furniture rental company. The specialist explained that they should have additional arms at the sides and that their height should be adjustable. That was one thing. He also mentioned that there should be additional stands that we might put on the desks and place our computers there. According to the expert, the screen should be at the level of your eyes, and in our office they were placed much lower. There is a grain of truth in what the experts say. Whenever I am sitting in front of the screen for too long, I feel that my neck really hurts. I guess we should order new office chairs as soon as possible and that we ought to do something abut the screens. This may not have a huge impact today, but in the future... who knows?
