According to the Swiss Labour Law, employers are required to design workplaces, work tools, and devices ergonomically to protect employees from physical harm even with prolonged activity.
Employers must comply with numerous regulatory requirements. Ergonomics is one of the most important aspects of preventive occupational safety. Only those who sit on properly adjusted office furniture can avoid expensive absences and long-term damage to the entire body.
SECO has created a tool called Health Risks for the Musculoskeletal System to identify the most common risks at your current workplace.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”126809″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_border”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”126811″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”The Right Office Chair” alignment=”left” spacer=”line_only” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”1″ line_color=”#ad000c”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]The more you can customize your office chair to your personal measurements, the healthier and more productive you will remain during long sitting periods.
It is crucial that individual anatomy is considered, and that the office chair offers enough adjustment and customization options.
Active movement combined with a flexible body posture benefits the spine. The office chair should absorb the user’s movement impulses and harmoniously adapt to any body posture one takes throughout a long day. In line with the motto: The best posture is always the next one.
We recommend chairs with integrated, swinging, and adaptive seating mechanism.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”kosten”][vc_column width=”2/3″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Share of Disease Types in Sick Days” alignment=”left” spacer=”line_only” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”1″ line_color=”#ad000c”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”126865″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Despite all efforts to create ergonomic workplaces, health insurance statistics record a continued increase in sick days due to spinal and skeletal diseases.
Back pain remains the notorious number 1 among individual diagnoses and is considered by the Federal Statistical Office as one of the most expensive diseases in Switzerland. The average statistical case duration for back pain in 2017 was 12.4 days, whereas for disc damage it was already 42 days.
Investing in an ergonomic workplace pays off in every way.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Ergonomics is Not Expensive” alignment=”left” spacer=”line_only” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”1″ line_color=”#ad000c”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Even though an ergonomic office chair or a standing desk might seem expensive at first glance and require a certain financial investment, as the above statistics show, it definitely pays off.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”126883″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Retaining and Attracting Specialists” alignment=”left” spacer=”line_only” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”1″ line_color=”#ad000c”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]For many employees, additional benefits are more important than the base salary. These fringe benefits have gained importance over the past years. Especially large companies offer a significantly broader range of additional benefits compared to SMEs, gaining a decisive competitive advantage. Along with free meals, gym facilities, and insurance, an ergonomic workplace is considered particularly attractive. Companies show that they care about the health of their employees, thereby increasing employee motivation and loyalty.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”The Term Ergonomics” alignment=”left” spacer=”line_only” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”1″ line_color=”#ad000c”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]All manufacturers can label their office furniture as ergonomic. There are no specific guidelines for when a chair or table can be classified as ergonomic. Therefore, you might find basic chairs with the word “Ergonomic” included. This is not only misleading but also harmful to health.
True workplace ergonomics, unfortunately, remains rare. Like with a car, the highest quality standards and a holistic approach are required to offer truly valuable ergonomic office chairs or sit-stand desks.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”126903″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_border”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Discover Beneficial Ergonomics” alignment=”left” spacer=”line_only” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”1″ line_color=”#ad000c”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][porto_best_selling_products view=”products-slider” per_page=”12″ columns=”5″ use_simple=”true” navigation=”” autoplay=”yes” autoplay_timeout=”2000″ animation_duration1=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
