Home office: create a healthy workplace
Current circumstances require most people to work from home. And even when the guidelines are relaxed, a new coronavirus-proof office environment will accommodate fewer workstations, meaning that working from home will still be necessary. The home workplace is therefore becoming increasingly important. However, many households are still using makeshift solutions for their home workplaces...
A dining table as a desk, a stool as an office chair, or slumped on the lounge sofa with your laptop on your knees.
However, these are not suitable pieces of furniture for working at or on for long periods of time, which also increases the risk of RSI. Experience has shown that it is very difficult to get rid of these complaints once they have developed. Prevention is better than cure, so it is important to ensure a good ergonomic home workspace with sturdy ergonomic furniture. After all, why should you settle for less at home than you do at the office?
