Working in Comfort

∙A curved seat edge. The front of the seat should be curved and finished in a “waterfall” edge.

∙An adjustable back support in both height and forward and backward tilt. It is important that the backrest correctly supports the lower part, or lumbar curve, of the back.

∙A freely rotating swivel so you can move easily from side-to-side.

∙Fully adjustable and padded armrests. The chair arms should not interfere with adjusting the chair or moving it close to your work surface.

Your Work Surface

Ideally, you should be able to adjust the height of your work surface.

A simple way to ensure your work surface is at the correct height is to first adjust the height of the seat-pan of your chair. With your chair properly adjusted and your feet firmly on the floor, adjust the work surface height until your forearms are parallel to the floor when you have your fingers on the keyboard or other input device.

Your Work Posture

Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's important that you maintain proper posture.

∙Back: While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled slightly backwards.

∙Arms: Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.
