A person spends an average of 40 hours a week at work. If the working posture is bad, it can cause long-term harm to well-being. That's why we recommend checking the ergonomics of your workstation and switching to active sitting!
What is ergonomics?
Ergonomics is an important part of the design of the work environment and the development of working methods, especially for those who do sedentary work. The term ergonomics refers to how the interaction between a person and their work environment can be planned and optimized in such a way that the employee can work as efficiently and comfortably as possible. This can include, for example, the correct working posture, suitable tools and equipment, and the ergonomic design of the workspace.
Ergonomics in sitting work
Ergonomics is especially important for people who work in a sitting position, as long-term sitting can cause various health problems, such as back pain, tension in the neck-shoulder region and impaired blood circulation. With the help of ergonomic tools, such as ergonomic office chairs, adjustable desks and the right type of monitors, sedentary workers can reduce these risks and improve their working comfort.
Active sitting
Active sitting is one way to improve ergonomics at the workplace. Sitting on a sitting ball or balance cushion activates the body's small muscles and promotes better posture and mobility. This can help reduce the harm caused by sitting and increase concentration and work efficiency. The advantages of active sitting are also better blood circulation and energy level, as well as reduced back pain.
You can also take an exercise bike, treadmill or other activating equipment to the workplace. For a standing workstation, we recommend a softening rubber mat and a balance board, which bring more movement into the day.
Posture vests and hand supports
The posture vest is a support device designed to help the user maintain and improve posture while sitting, standing or moving. The posture vest is usually made of a stretchy material and is usually fastened around the shoulders, back and possibly around the waist. Its purpose is to remind the user to keep their back straight and shoulders pulled back, which promotes good posture and can help reduce back and neck pain.
Different types of wrist and elbow supports may be needed when there are stress injuries, pain conditions or other challenges in the hands, as well as for the prevention of these. Especially those who work on a computer may suffer from annoying tennis elbow or mouse hand as a result of poor work ergonomics. The compression support invigorates blood circulation, warms and provides support, reducing stress and pain on the hand. However, talk to your doctor if the symptoms do not improve within a few days.
In summary
Overall, improving ergonomics in the work environment can bring many benefits to employees, such as reduced health risks, better working comfort and efficiency, and increased work well-being. Adhering to ergonomic principles and using ergonomic tools are key to achieving this.
