Safety in the workplace

Safety in the workplace is no longer just an issue in production halls and on construction sites, but also in modern offices.

Employers are legally obliged to provide safe and healthy working conditions that contribute to the well-being and safety of their employees. This obligation is not only a legal duty, but also has the added benefit of reducing absenteeism. That's great, isn't it?

What should you generally look out for?

Ergonomic office furnishings are very important for creating a healthy and productive working environment. Here are some points you should pay attention to:

• Individually adjustable office chair: Choose an office chair that can be adjusted to your body size and needs to enable an ergonomically correct sitting posture.
  
  
• Height-adjustable, sufficiently large desk: Make sure that your desk is height-adjustable to allow optimal positioning of your keyboard, mouse and screen. It should also offer enough space to organize your work materials comfortably.
  
  
• Easy-to-use, functional storage furniture: Make sure your storage furniture is easily accessible and functional so that you can organize your work materials neatly and efficiently.
  
  
• Sufficient storage space for technical devices: Make sure you have enough space to store your technical devices such as computers, printers or telephones safely and conveniently.
  
  
• Good cable management - no tripping hazards: Make sure that the cables of your devices are neatly and securely routed to avoid tripping hazards and ensure a tidy working environment.
  
  As far as computers, accessories and software are concerned, you should note the following:
  
  
• Verstellbarer, ausreichend grosser Bildschirm, der nicht blendet: Wählen Sie einen Bildschirm, der sich in der Höhe und Neigung verstellen lässt, um eine optimale Sichtposition zu gewährleisten. Also make sure that the screen is glare-free.
  
  
• Ergonomic mouse & keyboard: Use an ergonomically designed mouse and keyboard to support a natural hand and wrist posture and reduce strain.
  
  
• If necessary: external screen, document holder, etc.: If required, you can use an external screen or document holder to further improve viewing position and comfort.
  
  You should consider the following with regard to lighting:
  
  
• Harmonious, flicker-free and glare-free ambient lighting: Make sure that your work area is sufficiently illuminated without causing flicker or glare. Uniform and pleasant ambient lighting is important.
  
  
• Individuell regulierbare Beleuchtung ohne Reflexe auf dem Bildschirm: Make sure you can adjust your lighting individually to avoid reflections on the screen and create a pleasant working atmosphere.
  
  
• As much daylight as possible: make use of natural daylight by placing your workstation near windows or by using daylight lamps.
  
  Finally, in terms of noise and indoor climate:
  
  
• Openable windows: Make sure you have windows that can be opened to allow fresh air and good ventilation.
  
  
• Soundproofing if there are several workstations in one room: If you have several workstations in one room, you should take soundproofing measures such as partition walls or soundproofing elements to reduce background noise and promote concentration.
