  1. Ergonomics

  2. WORK STATION ERGONOMICS-REQUIREMENTS Lighting and temperature: • Hand writing, using a keyboard: 500 lux • Proportion of the windows surface to the floor surface: min. 1:8 • Minimal temperature in the office premises: 18o C • Ventilation – air circulation inside the premises needs to be secured

  3. WORK STATION ERGONOMICS-REQUIREMENTS Compartment surface: For every Staff member working constantly (more than 4h/day) at the same time in one compartment there should be: • at least 13 m3of free compartment space • and 2 m2of free floor space

  4. WORK STATION ERGONOMICS CORRECT POSTURE

  5. WORK STATION ERGONOMICS CHAIR: Our chair has an important impact for comfort of our work. The chair should provide us a comfortable posture and freedom of movement. The chair should be equiped with: • Regulation of seat height: 40-50 cm from the floor • Regulation of support height and inclination • Armrests • Seat profiled properly to our thighs • Support profiled properly to the spine natural curves

  6. WORK STATION ERGONOMICS FOOTREST: If you provide the work station with a footrest, make sure that you place it at the correct angle (max. 15°), to secure flat, resting feet position.

  7. WORK STATION ERGONOMICS DESK: The desk should be adequatly wide and deep to place the work station elements in a proper distance from yourself. Our goal is to prevent adopting a constrained position.

  8. WORK STATION ERGONOMICS HANDS POSITION: Set the height of your desk, chair and armrests in a way to ensure natural position of your hands while using a keyboard. Keep at least a right angle (90°) between your arm and forearm. This will allow relief of your muscles.

  9. WORK STATION ERGONOMICS CORRECT SETTINGS OF THE MONITOR: Place your monitor on the desk in a 40-75 cm distance from your eyes, ensuring, that the angle of looking at the monitor is 20°-50° down from the horizontal line leading from the level of your eyes. This arrangement will allow minimising pressure from your eyes and the back of your neck.
