Working in a comfortable and efficient workspace is crucial for maintaining productivity and preventing injuries. One way to achieve this is by optimising your workspace through professional DSE assessments.
Pure Physio Workstation, is a physiotherapy service, offers comprehensive workstation assessments both onsite and virtually. These assessments are designed to evaluate the ergonomics of your workspace and provide expert recommendations for improvement.
Aspects of your workspace you didn't realise affects your productivity.
Lightening - Correct lighting arrangements are essential if eye fatigue is to be avoided, as this can affect your sitting posture. As a general rule, a level of lighting of 300 - 500 lux should be appropriate. However, the direction and angle of the light need to be taken into consideration due to glare on the screen.
Temperature - Cold air from overhead ventilation can causes discomfort, shivering and can cause an increase in muscular tension. However an increase in temperature can also lead to discomfort , dehydration, sweating and sleepiness.
Noise - Excessive environment noise can make concentration difficult and lead to hearing loss.
Eyesight - It is recommended that you should get your eyes checked regularly. All employees based in the EU are entitled to be provided with an appropriate eyesight test by a qualified Optometrist or Doctor. Take mini breaks so that your eyes can adjust their focus. More details provided after the assessment.
