ergonomics
Office work usually means hours in front of the screen, so office furnishing must be planned with ergonomics in mind. The computer screen should be placed so as to avoid reflection and to enable the user to adopt a relaxed head position at a distance of at least 55 cms.
The height of the chair should be adjustable and the table too, if possible. The regulation of surrounding factors such as light and noise are also important issues. The employer is responsible for the implementation of health regulations relating to the workplace.
