CHAPTER 14. Office Accessories (auxiliary equipment)

Extremely important role in the quality of work, ergonomics and performance of the employee is played by the auxiliary equipment that exists in the space, such as:

The office footrest .

Placing the feet in a supine position is the most ideal way to help the normal blood circulation in the legs. This will lead to a significant improvement in the symptoms of edema associated with venous insufficiency, in slowing the development of varicose veins and varicose veins in the legs. The adjustable footrest achieves lower extremity training and a more upright posture on the body.

The keyboard.

The layout of the keys on a keyboard for a computer-operated user is of great importance in relation to the development of carpal tunnel syndromes due to the deviations of its wrists . The morphology and therefore the inclination of the keys in combination with the height of the desk and the support of the user's arms on the arms of the seat is the most ideal combination to avoid problems. In case the keyboard does not have a special morphology, it would be ideal to place a special" cushion "in the position of the wrists so that they are not pressed from the desk and the blood circulation stops.

The screens support

documents, which help the employee to work comfortably without making sudden movements and straining the muscles, nerves, tendons located in the shoulder and in the head.

Important elements also as accessories that contribute to the quality of life and health of employees, the Mouse, the position of the CPU, the use of a speakerphone in telephones centers etc.
