Last we touched upon how investing in high quality ergonomic furniture can boost productivity as well as employee morale; this week we will cover how choosing ergonomic industrial tables, workbenches, microscope tables, and other laboratory furniture will improve the safety and health of your workers.
According to OSHA (the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Health and Safety Administration), ergonomic furniture is essential for both safety and health reasons, particularly for the prevention of musculoskeletal conditions that can result from repetitive movement, such bending over your workbench at an awkward angle. Therefore, it is important to provide yourself and your workers with lab tables and other industrial furniture that is designed to allow for natural movement and fits the human form.
In addition to preventing health issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, various back problems, and other sources of chronic pain, ergonomically designed furniture also improves worker safety by removing common hazards, such as tangled electrical cords. Along that line, SteelSentry furniture can be customized with built-in powerstrips (so that only one cord has to be connected to the wall outlet) and many other user-centric accessories, like keyword trays and computer monitor arms - here is the full list of accessories that can be added to SteelSentry furniture.
