Ergonomic Chairs
Workplace Seating by BEVCO
At your workspace or desk, a
properly adjusted ergonomic chair will help reduce
the occurrence of many work-related musculoskeletal
disorders. Among these are Cumulative Trauma
Disorders (CTDs) or repetitive strain injuries
(RSIs), including carpal tunnel syndrome and
tendonitis. Recognizing the strong benefits of
ergonomic design, our complete line of seating has
been created to improve physical comfort, health and
productivity of workers.
We offer seating for industrial, ESD for electronic
assembly or repair, clean room, healthcare,
laboratory and office applications. Ergonomic
Partners offers expert application assistance to
help customers identify the best seating models for
their specific needs.
Our commitment to quality ensures that all ergonomic
chairs meet or exceed applicable ANSI BIFMA
performance standards. These standards define
specific tests to ensure the strength, durability
and safety of seating products.
Why Ergonomic Seating?
-
Efficiency - sitting requires
20% less energy than standing to do the same
work if the body is properly supported.
Intra-disc pressure during reclined sitting is
50% less than that for erect standing
-
Effectiveness - sitting
increases postural stability for fine motor
tasks if the posture is stable.
-
Economics -the average office
loses over $7,300 per employee per year in poor
productivity and medical and Workers'
Compensation claims (The Bureau of Labor
Statistics).
-
Over 50% are low-back injuries.
Poor chair design contributes to poor seated
posture which plays a major role in these
injuries (e.g. Secretary Back Syndrome).
-
80% of us will get a back injury
at some time.
In addition to ergonomic seating, it
is also important to select the proper
ergonomic floor mats, anti-fatigue matting,
and
work tables, workstations and workbenches.
