Equipment for Better Health at Work
Ergonomic seating is playing an ever-important role
with an increasing emphasis put on the health of the seated operator in the
workplace.
The HSE's national campaign
to tackle back pain in the workplace, in partnership with Local
Authorities, has increased awareness to the fact that more and more people
suffer with back and posture problems. The chairs or stools they sit on at
work can be a contributing factor to poor posture and bad backs which has
resulted in
Beautelle's saddle seating range
becoming increasingly popular with employers.
The Beautelle Saddle Stool is proven to reduce work
related upper limb disorders (RSI), decrease pain and fatigue associated
with muscular tension, reduce lower back pain, relieve posture problems and
improve blood circulation. A popular choice for today's modern working
environment and equally suitable for office/computer-related tasks; customer
service & reception jobs; line assembly work; the medical field; laboratory
workers & technicians.
