Common Occupational Injuries

Headaches and most problems relating to the extremeties in particular, the joints and muscles, are the result of extended exposure to inproper lighting, poor sitting posture and improper array of such everyday digital devices like mouse, keyboard and monitor as well as unsuited furniture like seats and desks.

Proper ergonomic design of chairs and furniture together with an enhanceed awareness of good body posture are the most important elements of prevention against typical workplace related health hazards. Let´s start off by noting that the human body was not very well suited for extended periods of sitting. The skeletal muscles must work hard to keep the back in the upright position. In addition, lack of body movement when sitting further weakens muscle strength, and most office workers spend countless hours squinting at computer screen leaning forward in a cramped posture. Considering the level of muscular stress to which the back is eposed over a typical office working lifetime, the propensity of injuries to the back resulting from overextension should be of no suprise.

For this reason, LOP Design has taken on the task of ensuring that Multitable fully complies to European regulations as well as recommendations from both ergonomists and medical associations for healthly furniture.
