While office furniture may not be the hottest trend in technology, it is
never the less critical in the performance and productivity of any office. From
CPU and printer stands, to
file cabinets, to
desks,
workstations and
chairs, to
carts to move the mail, each represents an important piece in the day to day
business work flow.
One of the most important aspects of office furniture is Ergonomics!
Ergonomics (or human factors) is the application of scientific information
concerning objects, systems and environment for human use. Ergonomics was
largely unheard of 20 years ago, but today, it is one of the most important
features of any workplace. Ergonomics is commonly thought of as how companies
design tasks and work areas to maximize the efficiency and quality of their
employees' work, and how to minimize problems that can come from work and
repetitive tasks. In reality, ergonomics comes into everything, which involves
people. Work systems, sports and leisure, health and safety should all embody
ergonomics principles if well designed. Most of today's manufacturers, such as:
Edsal,
Kendall Howard,
Leda,
Mayline,
Nexel,
Safco, and other design with ergonomic principals in mind.
