Table 2 The standardized ergonomic guidance provided for the workers
Recommendations for maintaining the proper workplace |
|---|
• The chair should be adjustable in relation to seat height allowing 90° knee flexion angle and the feet to stay well supported on the floor (or foot rest) |
• The seat length should allow weight to be discharged into the ischia and thighs without compressing the popliteal region |
• The angle between the seat and the backrest should allow participants to assume a 90° to 120° hip flexion posture |
• The backrest should provide support for the lower back |
• The table height should correspond to the distance between the elbow and the floor, with the individual sitting in a suitable chair |
• It should allow the shoulders to remain relaxed without abduction or flexion |
• It should offer enough space for leg movement under the table |
• The monitor should be at a distance of 45 to 70 cm to worker’s view |
• It should allow for a viewing level in the upper third of the screen |
