Ergonomics in the lab is just as important as in the office, the factory or any other facility. It is the main contributor to your efficiency, attitude to work, health, concentration and posture. A high quality, comfortable and well-designed lab stool is extremely important when considering your lab furnishings. Potential injury from ergonomics is underestimated, as serious muscular and skeletal injury can be the result of bad posture and static working positions.
To easily achieve a good sitting posture, push yourself into the back of the chair to sit as far back as possible. Sit as straight as possible and accentuate the curvature of your back, then relax slightly so you are upright but comfortable. This will minimize back strain.
A safe, well-engineered, purpose-built lab chair is invaluable when it comes to safety, well-being and efficiency. Below are the specific configurations available:
