FURNITURE CATALOGUE CUTS:

( Refer to furniture, fittings & equipment catalogue cuts documents).

FURNITURE GENERAL SPICIFICATION

A-Chair: The chair is the focal point of an ergonomic workstation, and all other aspects of design should

adjusted around it. Chairs should have an adjustable back to provide support for the lumbarregion of the back and trunk. High-back chairs provide extra upper back support. Select a chairwith easily adjustable height to permit the feet to rest flat on the ground with the upper legs

parallel to the floor. Your feet should rest flat on the floor! A footrest may be needed by somepeople to achieve this position. Chairs should have a five-star base and casters compatible withthe floor surface. T-armrests with adjustable height and width are recommended for intensivecomputer users. When seated, the seat pan should not hit the back of knee.

I. Casters & Base

Use a chair with casters and a 5-point base to ease movement and minimize possible tipping.Generally, nylon carpet casters are standard, but soft wheel casters are available for hardsurfaces such as linoleum. Rubber locking casters are useful on stools to prevent tipping.

II. Seat Pan

The seat pan is the component of the chair that supports the majority of the users weight . Itis important to purchase a chair which uses dense, small-cell foam padding or spring coils toretain its support and cushioning (this usually involves purchasing a chair over$250.00 ). Thefront part of the seat should slope down slightly (waterfall design) and allow a fist size gapbetween the back of the knees and the front edge of the seat pan to reduce pressure at the back

of the thighs. Tilt adjustments are preferred to allow a forward working posture to be attainedor a reclined posture. A seat pan with a sliding mechanism is also a beneficial feature. Thisallows small and tall users to adjust the distance from the back rest.

III. Backrest

Adequate lumbar support is the most crucial element of a backrest. The backrest should eitherbe small enough to fit into the small of the back, clearing the pelvis and back of the rib cage,or curved to provide adequate support. Many chairs come with a built-in lumbar adjustmentwhich can be adjusted by turning a knob on the side of the chair. Inadequate lumbar supportplaces excess pressure on the spine. Remember, a lumbar support cushion properly placedbehind the small of the back can help to accentuate lumbar support. The backrest should alsohave angle, in-out, and height adjustments to achieve proper spinal alignment. The angleadjustment allows the user to adjust the angle of the back rest relative to the seat pan, asapposed to the tilt mechanism, which moves the seat pan with the backrest. When you changethe tilt, the angle between the seat pan and the backrest stays the same.

IV. Armrests

Adjustable height and width are absolutely necessary when purchasing a chair with armrests.The armrest should be made of a soft material and should be at least 2" wide to provideadequate surface area.

V. Seat Height

Almost all task chairs come with a hydraulic seat height adjustment. This is probably thesingle most import adjustment mechanism on a chair. It allows the user to adjust the chair sotheir feet can rest properly on the floor or footrest and the upper body is properly aligned with

the computer monitor and input devices such as the keyboard and mouse.

VI. Chair Recline or Tilt

The chair recline or tilt adjustment changes the angle of the entire seat relative to the floor. Aswith backrest angle adjustability, a reclined chair transfers some of the upper body weight to

the backrest of the chair. It is also important that the user change body positioning throughoutthe day.

Self-Adjusting Recline Intelligent counter-balance recline mechanism automatically provides the right amount ofsupport through the full range of recline motion, regardless of user size and weight No tension springs to adjust No recline locks to set/release During recline, the angle between torso and legs opens up for better body function User maintains near constant eye level during recline

Synchronized Armrests Revolutionary armrests move in tandem to eliminate the dangers of uneven arm positioning Natural lift and release action for immediate repositioning without buttons or locks 6" range of vertical motion to accommodate all users and tasks Can be positioned below thigh-level for close table or desk work Attached to backrest so arms stay in same relation to body during recline

Contoured Cushions Carefully sculpted to match body contours Increased contact area reduces pressure pointsModular for easy replacement

Work Work surfaces should be large enough to accommodate all the computer equipment, including a

Surface : wrist rest in front of the keyboard and adequate viewing distance between the monitor andoperator's eyes. A keyboard tray can be used to increase depth and to provide proper keyinglevel. There should also be enough room under the work surface to allow free leg movement.

The height of the work surface should allow the forearms to be parallel with the floor whenworking at the computer, while not forcing the shoulders to be elevated. A footrest can assist in

supporting the feet as well, allowing the employee to sit back in his/her chair.
