Choosing the perfect chair
Before deciding on an office chair to buy, it is important to understand your individual work situation. Your work situation is defined by how you use your office space and how long you work at a time. Consider variables such as the number of hours you are sitting each day, types of work you are performing, the equipment in your work area as well as your physical size and personal preferences and style. Since these things vary from person to person, choose a chair that best fits you. Use the information below to help with your decision
Frequency of use considerations:
- Infrequent use is 0-3 hours per day. This use is characterized by busy executives, managers and sales people who are physically active and move around the office frequently. Typically these people sit for short periods at a time. Choose any comfortable and durable chair.
- Moderate use is 3-5 hours per day. This use is typically by technicians, secretaries and other employees that sit for medium to moderate time periods. Select a basic ergonomic chair.
- Intensive use is 5 hours and above. This type of use is characterized by writers, programmers, operators, data entry workers and telemarketers who regularly sit for extended periods. Select a high quality, full adjustable and extra comfortable ergonomic chair. Pay a little more now or suffer the consequences of an employee injury later.
