HEALTH & SAFETY: WORKSTATION ERGONOMICS CHECKLIST
Before you start working at the computer station, always check and adjust your office chair based on workstation ergonomics safety guidelines:
- Adjust the height of the office chair so that your feet are flat on the floor and thighs are horizontal.
- The distance between the front of your seat pan and the back of your knee should be at least 2 cm.
- Set the tilt of the seat pan to horizontal or slightly forward to your own preference, your hips should be between 90-120 degrees.
- Adjust the position of the backrest until a comfortable pressure is exerted on the lower back while seated. Your shoulders should be positioned behind your hips.
