The 3 Most Common Ergonomic Hazards Found in Every Office (with Solutions)

Posted on by admin

Many people assume that working in an office is a safe and cushy job. While there are certainly many perks (such as A/C in the summer!), the truth is that there are a number of hazards that office workers face every day and, in most cases, these hazards are easily fixed.

 

Ergonomic hazards are unique. Most of us have the idea that a workplace hazard is an unsecured heavy load, high voltage wires or other obviously dangerous item or situation.  Where an ergonomic hazard differs from these more traditional hazards is that an ergonomic hazard in the office may not necessarily be noticed immediately. In fact, a lot of ergonomic issues will build over time before causing pain.

 

Carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic neck and back pain, frequent headaches, and more can all be symptoms of poor ergonomics in your office. If you spend much of the day working at your desk then you should ensure that your workspace not only has the tools to get the job done but to protect your body at the same time.

 

 

What is an Ergonomic Hazard?

 

Before you can start preventing injuries from ergonomic hazards in the office, you must understand what an ergonomic hazard is.

 

Simply put, an ergonomic hazard is a situation or behaviour that can lead to any number of musculoskeletal disorders. Ergonomic hazards are usually repetitive and long lasting actions that lead to painful injuries or conditions over time.

Here are three simple improvements that you can make to help improve your office’s ergonomics and avoid ergonomic injury.

 

 

  1. Inadequate or Worn Out Chairs

 

People who work in offices spend upwards of 7 hours per day sitting at their desk. Having a great chair is essential to avoid ergonomic injuries.

A lot of people simply don’t understand what makes a great chair when it comes to office ergonomics. Should you just buy the most comfortable chair and move on with your day?

 

An ergonomic office chair provides crucial support in three areas. First to consider is back support.

The back of the chair should curve with your back to support the back and shoulders. Without proper support, the lower back muscles often work overtime to make up for all of the sitting that happens throughout the day.

 

Next, the cushioning on the seat of the chair plays a major role. This cushioning supports the spine as you sit. Over time, cushioning can compress or spread out and require replacing. No chair will last forever.

 

Lastly, the position of your armrests can dictate your posture.  When your arms are gently supported with your hands near your lap and your elbows at approximately a 90-degree angle, the stress on your neck, shoulders and wrist is minimized.

 

Below is just one of the many office chairs we supply that can help with all of the above. Just click the photo to have a browse.

 

 

 

  1. Poor Posture Due to Device Placement

 

A good office chair is only helpful if you actually make the most of the features built into the ergonomic chair. Leaning forward or slouching can render even the best office chairs useless.

 

One of the main reasons people lean and slouch at their desk is because the devices they use are not placed correctly. Your keyboard, mouse, and computer monitor all play an important role in office ergonomics.

 

When setting up your monitor you want the text to be in line with your eyes. Sit down in your chair with your feet flat on the ground and assess if your monitor needs to be raised or lowered.

 

Next, look at your keyboard and mouse. If needed, raise or lower your keyboard tray or even move your keyboard and mouse to accommodate your height.  Incorrect laptop height leads to additional pressure on the wrist and shoulders.

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Prolonged Periods of Sitting

 

Earlier we mentioned that most office workers spend more than 7 hours per day sitting at their desk. Having a great ergonomic chair is a good start but it doesn’t change the fact that you are sitting for a very large portion of your day.

 

Find opportunities to do something other than sit. Set timers to go for a walk or do some stationary stretches. Sitting is one of the largest ergonomic hazards in the office and your chair can’t change that.

 

You may also want to consider a height-adjustable desk that can alternate from standing to sitting and back. This allows you to change your position throughout the day and doesn’t require you to either sit all day or stand all day.

Office Chairs for Every Need!!

Posted on by admin


An office chair is used for so many reasons, beyond simply sitting at your desk and carrying out your work. For example, any office will have several different types of office chairs, including executive boardroom chair, stacking chairs for meetings and trainings, chairs for back pain, and so many more. But how do you know which is the best office chair? How do you decide which is the best office chair for a specific purpose?

In our blog, we run through the best office chair for every occasion and purpose. From the best computer chair to the best office chair for back pain, we’ve covered every possibility and suggested the best office chair for your needs.

 

Computer Chair

 

 

 

For anyone spending a significant amount of time at their desk working on a computer, it’s vital that they have a good computer chair.

You’ll want something that supports your body and allows you to move freely and naturally, reducing the stiffness and tension that can so easily come with spending many hours working in front of a computer. Something like this Action 24/7 would be the best computer chair for individuals who spend most of their working hours at a desk.

 

Ergonomic Office Chair

 

 

 

 

An ergonomic office chair is key for supporting your body while you work at your desk. These specially designed office chairs target areas of your body to offer extra support and reduce the amount of stress that is put on your body while sitting. The right ergonomic office chair can also go a long way in ensuring that you sit with the correct posture.

The best ergonomic office chair will address all these areas, and any chair with design your own options, like the Reed is even better.

 

 

Chair for Back Pain

 

 

 

Because the human body is only designed to sit for short periods of time, the hours of sitting that come with modern life can cause damage to our bodies. Many people who have a job which requires them to sit in front of a desk for extended periods of time experience back pain and stiffness.

The best chair for back pain should offer extra lumbar support and would be highly adjustable to suit your individual needs. We would suggest the Orthopaedica as a great example of this.

 

 

Chair for a Home Office

 

 

 

 

A home office chair will be used for many purposes, so you will want something that is versatile. You might also want something that is smaller, lighter and more delicately designed than a traditional office chair so that it fits nicely in your home, both from a size and design perspective. A great example is the best chair for a home office is the Liberty which is aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and adaptable.

 

 

Executive Chair

 

 

 

An executive chair should combine the effective design of a supportive office chair with a luxurious feel and look. The right executive chair is very important to any business, because the right design and comfort can help make a positive impression on visiting clients and customers.

The best executive chair will make a big impact on those sitting in it, and should offer the best support through flawless ergonomic design to both visitors and employees. An example of a great executive chair would be the Seven chair.

 

 

Stacking Chairs

 

 

 

Stacking chairs are essential for any office that holds regular staff meetings, training’s, or networking events. Stackable chairs are ideal because they are compact and can be easily stored without taking up too much room when they are not being used. The best stacking chair will be functional, discreet and still comfortable so that employees and visitors don’t become stiff or achey. The Tino Chair ticks all these boxes and looks great!

 

Office Sofa

 

 

 

 

Functional office furniture is not only limited to chairs. Office sofas are perfect for reception areas so that clients and visitors have a comfortable and stylish place to wait for their appointment. They can also be extremely useful in break areas so that employees have somewhere to get away from their desk or to take their break.

The best office sofa will be made from durable fabric, offer a stylish design and be comfortable to sit on. Something like the Sofa linked above would be perfect, whether you need a sofa for reception or the break room

Office Furniture Buying Mistakes That’ll Cost You Big

Posted on by admin
While picking out furniture for your office seems like a relatively easy task, in reality, it’s about much more than just looks and comfort.
There are a number of factors that have to be considered in order to get the best value for your buck. By avoiding these five common furniture buying mistakes, you’ll ensure that the furniture that you choose will help to improve work productivity and employee satisfaction.

1. Choosing Price Tag Over Value

Hey, we’re the first to admit that we love a great deal! There is no shame in bargain shopping for the essentials, but when it comes to your office furniture, cheaper is definitely not better.

Why? Because typically cheaper means the furniture was made cheaper (poorer quality materials, mass produced for volume, etc… ). And that means that it just won’t last you as long as it should, ultimately costing you more time and way more money in the long run.

 

Takeaway:

When looking for new furniture for your office, don’t fall into the trap of a cheap red price tag. You’ll want to think of your furniture as an investment, that will return value both financially and physically in the long run.(Pictured: Executive Desk)

 

 

 

2. Purchasing Without a Plan

If you don’t know what you want when you go to look for furniture, you’re going to end up wasting your precious free time, and no one has enough of that in general right now. Frustration will kick in and, sometimes, people will end up making rash decisions on pieces they regret in the long run.

 

 

Takeaway:

To set yourself for success, you’ll want to assess what your needs are. Do you need a cabinet to go along with your desk for storage? Do you want to be able to sit and stand while you work?

 

You’ll also want to assess what you’ve liked about the furniture you’ve had in the past as well as what you’d like different. Not enough back support? Too easily scratched and stained?

 

And lastly, while it’s fun to make decisions based on what’s trending, you may want to consider investing in pieces of office furniture that are timeless, as well as stylish. That way you won’t find yourself two years down the line wishing you had not bought that stained glass desk.(Pictured: Sit and Stand Desk)

 

 

 

3. Choosing Style vs Comfort

The saying, “Beauty is pain.” just doesn’t work in this scenario. In reality, comfort is a huge factor in the overall productivity of workers in an office setting, and the way that ultimate comfort is achieved is with an ergonomically sound workspace. You may be tempted to go with what looks good, but if it doesn’t support you or your employee’s physical needs, work will suffer in the end.

 

Takeaway:

Luckily, furniture manufacturing companies have taken giant strides in the area to provide options for furniture that is comfortable and ergonomically sound, as well as stylish.

Look for furniture that has been designed and tested to properly support your body while you work throughout the day.

We work many companies that can  specifically design chairs and workstation essentials with ergonomics and style first in mind.(Pictured: Orthopaedica)

 

 

 

4. Forgetting True Cost of Ownership

It’s common to forget that the price tag of your furniture is not the only cost you may incur throughout the purchasing and installation phase. It’s important to remember to add items such as freight charges, packaging and handling costs, taxes, and any installation or assembly chargers that’ll be tacked on. Before you sign on the dotted line (or on the digital screen), make sure you talk to your vendor about what the total cost would be after you factor in all these potential additional charges.

 

Takeaway:

When shopping around, make sure to ask your vendor what all the costs of purchasing would be to avoid any credit card surprises.

 

 

 

5. Buying Without a Growth Mindset

Whether you only need a few pieces of furniture at the moment or you are buying in bulk to furnish an entire office building, one of the biggest mistakes organizations make is not buying with future growth in mind.

What people end up with is furniture that doesn’t adapt to your changing technology or workspace and/or mismatched furniture through the entire office making it feel like you’re all working for different companies.

 

Takeaway:

When buying furniture, look for pieces that would look good across the entire organization and ones that can be easily moved or reconfigured to fit your changing needs. Many companies have cohesive collections of furniture that allow you to grow and add at your pace.

Designing a Healthy Work Environment!!!

Posted on by admin

Productivity is the name of the game in any business, but who can be productive when everyone in the office is feeling ill or out of sorts? Creating a positive and healthy work environment yields happy and healthy employees. Below are some tips to help you design your office for optimum health and productivity.

 

 

Lose the Old Cubes

Large, old office cubicles can be downright depressing. They are often dull in color and very clinical-feeling. They also exude an air of isolation and solitude. Most newly designed cubicles are built to be more functional rather than closed off cubes. If you’re opting for more of an open office layout, partitions can also help with privacy and come in a variety of fabric-covered walls and cheerful color options.

 

 

Let There Be Light

Nothing is more depressing that dim lighting in an office workspace. Shadows in the corners and flickering fluorescents belong in a horror film; not in an office environment. Trade out fluorescent lights for bright LEDs. Choose daylight bulbs for an even cheerier feel. Sunlight keeps us awake, and therefore more productive. As an added bonus, LEDs use less energy. Now you are increasing production and saving money at the same time.

 

 

Keep it Clean

Design your office space with two main themes in mind: Clean and Simple. Cluttered offices often lead to cluttered minds. Encourage employees to limit the number of personal items on their desks. Too many potted plants and boxes of tissues create a feeling of disorder and confusion.

 

Use colors that are bright and clean. These are typically the cooler colors on the color wheel. Warm tones of yellow, orange and brown are too earthy. If you choose a shade in this category, try to lean toward the very lightest shades available.

 

Dress office windows with a light and airy window treatment. Shy away from clunky blinds that collect dust and allergens. Instead, allow windows to provide maximum light by keeping the glass clean and bare.

 

Floors should be easy to clean and neutral in color. Opt for low-pile carpet to avoid the echo-effect of tile or laminate. Deep-pile carpet is hard to vacuum, and it tends to show wear and tear much quicker than commercial-grade carpet. A protective plastic chair guard at each desk will prolong the life of the floor and prevent spills from reaching the carpet.

 

 

Make Some Noise

Most people think of offices as quiet, noiseless chambers. The clickety-click of typing and the ringing of phones are the only sounds that break the silence. This heavy silence can actually be oppressing to the office workers. A random cough or sneeze may make employees feel self-conscious if the room is too quiet. Soft background music is helpful to encourage a healthy mood.

 

 

Make a Break for it

Don’t forget to include the break room in your healthy office design. Employees need a clean and friendly environment to rest and recharge.

A dusty coffee pot and dingy counter tops are not going to cut it. Keep the clean and simple approach in the foreground as you design this area.

Provide a refrigerator for employees to place healthy lunches from home, and make sure to include a microwave for reheating them. Keep surfaces smooth and easy to keep clean, and avoid carpet in this area. Opt instead for laminate, tile, or linoleum. Bring the lights down a bit to allow employees to rest and relax.

Cheerful fabrics and wall colors will encourage cheerful attitudes, but be careful not to go overboard with busy designs and loud colors.

 

Air and Water

Finally, remember the essential elements to good health as you design the perfect work space. Our bodies are comprised of over 50% water. That makes the water we consume essential to our health and well-being.

Air quality is another valid concern. Hire a cleaning service to schedule regular office cleanings to minimize dust, and install air purifiers around the office to improve air quality.

Having the air ducts professionally cleaned can also improve breathing conditions in the office. Large amounts of dust collect over time, reducing air quality and performance of central air and heating systems.

 

Health Equals Wealth

The golden rule when striving for a healthy work environment is that health equals wealth. All of these improvements in the office will come back ten-fold in the production and longevity of your employees. Make the investment and you will certainly reap the return.

6 Tips on Incorporating Ergonomics With Your Standing Desk!!

Posted on by admin

Looking to upgrade to a standing desk, or have you recently purchased one? Either way, congrats! A standing height desk is a great alternative to a traditional desk and they have many desirable features, as well as plenty of options available to choose from.

When converting to a stand up desk, it’s easy to forget about or let the ergonomics part of it to fall to the wayside.

Below we’ve broken down some of the things to pay attention to when upgrading your workstation with a standing desk, so that you make sure you’re working in a healthy working environment.

 

Posture

There is a lot to be said about how to sit properly in your office chair, but not so much about standing. Some tips on proper posture include placing your legs at shoulder width without locking your knees and slightly staggering your stance with one foot in front of the other.

Desk Height

The height of your sit stand desk should be adjusted according to your height. Set the height of your desk( slightly below elbow) so that you’re able to comfortably type on your keyboard without straining your neck or any other muscles.

 

Monitor

Make sure that your monitor is eye level. You shouldn’t be straining your neck or your eyes to read what’s on the screen. That means that your neck shouldn’t be forced in an uncomfortable position and your eyes should at least be an arms length away from your computer screen.

 

Keyboard

Once you have your monitor properly adjusted, the setup of your keyboard shouldn’t be far off. Make sure that your wrists are straight. Possibly use a wrist rest if you can.

 

 

Lighting

Having multiple sources of light is also a good idea to keep you from straining your eyes. We recommend to let in some natural light if you can, as well as having a task light on hand in addition to office lighting, that way, if the office lighting is too dim, you can always use your task light as an additional light source.

 

Accessories

Some standing desk accessories to consider include an anti-fatigue chair mat or a foot rest to take some of the pressure off of your feet, especially if you’re standing all day.

 

 

 

In summary, while standing desks can be a great alternative to sitting, its equally important to pay attention to the ergonomics and health of it as well.

Is your business secure? GDPR Ready!

Posted on by admin

Information security is now more vital to the survival and success of businesses than it’s ever been before.  There are various factors contributing to this new urgency:

Cyber security is the biggest threat to the survival and success of modern businesses. Companies of all sizes are at risk of falling victim to disruptive attacks such as phishing, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) or ransomware – the costs of which run into the millions.

 

Government regulations such as the GDPR are increasingly looking to punish businesses with potentially crippling fines for failing to secure their systems and data appropriately.

 

The expansion and digitisation of the modern workplace compounds cyber challenges further: as workflows spread across devices, networks and geographies, information must be protected as it moves around a business.

 

The capabilities of office printers and multifunction devices have increased ten-fold in recent years. They are now responsible for a huge proportion of business data input, output, transfer and storage. This potentially makes them one of the most dangerous, yet often overlooked, threat vectors in the workplace today.

 

Faced with these challenges, modern businesses can no longer function without fundamentally secure document and data management systems.

Now more than ever, businesses need a partner they can trust to help them secure and protect their information management.

                  Four things to think about to secure your business

                                                                            

 

                                                                             

 

 

This combination of security threats and legislative requirements means the potential for reputational and fiscal damage from cyber risk has never been greater.

Now is the time to invest in the security of your digital workplace with a partner you can trust.

 

 

The good news is, Ricoh has already thought about security for you. We are expert in understanding these risks because we’ve spent decades developing ways to mitigate
them, through state-of-the-art security measures embedded into every product and solution across our entire portfolio.

Tips On Organizing Your File Cabinets!!

Posted on by admin

Organization. That twelve letter word you either love or hate. The good news is, you’re here to make changes, so kudos to you! Now, let’s get down to the nitty gritty of what that means with your filing cabinet. Below are four ways to get your filing cabinets in working order.

 

Color code

If you haven’t started using a color coding system to help organize your filing cabinet, you need to hop on it! If you have started, but need to step up your game, now is the time! Colored labels and colored folders are extremely helpful in organizing your documents and making them easy to find.

 

Add labels

Labels sound like a no-brainer, but I’m sure some of you out there don’t use them! Something to also consider if you have a habit of re-labeling folders, is to write in pencil versus pen or marker

 

 

Shred old, unnecessary files

Old files can pile up quickly and cause you to have a lot of extra junk you don’t need that takes up space. Consider going through your drawers and auditing your existing files to see what you should keep and get rid of. Its also a good idea to schedule some time to do this regularly throughout the year, so that you can keep on top of it rather than sitting for hours on end cleaning it out.

File new documents or papers right away

Getting into a rhythm to file your documents right away can be hard. Its easier to let it pile on the desk next to you, or throw it in a folder labeled “organize”. But, with a little extra effort, you can make that a thing of the past saving you hours in the long run. Whenever you have something new you need to file, make a quick b-line to your filing cabinet and get that thing filed away pronto!

 

 

That wraps up our tips on keeping your filing cabinets organized. Now that it’s spring time, it’s the perfect opportunity to add this to your office spring cleaning list! If you have any questions about organizing your files, drop a comment below!

 

What causes a Paper Jam?

Posted on by admin

                      

Paper jams are the most common frustration when it comes to shredding. When a jam occurs, it is usually due to overfeeding, mis-feeding or fast feeding paper into the shredder. By being aware of these common shredding mistakes, along with having a shredder with the right jam prevention technology, you can keep your shredding experience hassle-free.

Overfeeds

When too much paper is fed into a shredder at one time, this can cause a paper jam. Knowing the sheet capacity (or how many sheets your machine can handle) can help prevent jamming. Also, you can help eliminate overfeeds by having a shredder equipped with a jam prevention system that can electronically sense when too much paper has been inserted into the machine.

Mis-feeds

Inserting paper that is folded, creased or wrinkled can also cause a misfeed paper jam. A shredder with advanced jam prevention can power through mis-feeds or cleanly reverse out the paper so that it can be removed – both eliminating this cause of a paper jam.

Fast Feeds

Fast feeds are caused when a stack of paper is fed into the machine before the shredder has finished shredding the previous stack. Shredders equipped with an advanced jam prevention technology that can detect fast feeds will pause the shredder, allowing you to remove the excess paper before it turns into a paper jam.

 

How To Oil Your Paper Shredder For Consistent Performance

Like your car, your paper shredder needs to be oiled regularly to maintain optimal performance. To oil your shredder, simply hold down the reverse button. Squeeze oil across the entire paper entry while holding down the button. Hold down the reverse button for another 10 se

conds to ensure the lubrication has spread through the cutters. It only takes seconds to keep your shredder running well, as regular oiling prevents cutters from locking up over time.

What Oil Should You Use For Your Shredder?

Do not use aerosol oils to lubricate your shredder. Such lubricants are petroleum-based and can be a serious fire hazard. Use only vegetable-based oils like Fellowes Shredded Oil for all cross-cut paper shredders. Also use High Security Shredder Oil for large capacity paper shredders and Fellowes commercial shredders with the Auto-Oil feature.

How Often Should You Oil Your Shredder?

When you notice the shredder is experiencing difficulty shredding, or gets jammed easily, then it’s probably time to oil. If you use your shredder occasionally, then oiling your shredder may only be necessary every two months to maintain good performance. If you use your shredder a lot, however, then your best practices are to oil your cross cut shredder every time you empty the waste bin.

New Regulation for the Protection of Data (GDPR)

Posted on by admin

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the latest development in the current EU agenda to safeguard its citizens and their private information.

The GDPR introduces new rights for individuals and the changes require a review of your current approach and an assessment of the impact to your business and customers.

           

Penalties

A penalty for data breach may cost up to €20 million or 4% of your annual turnover.

Increased Territorial Scope

if you are transferring data outside of the EU, for any purpose, the terms of the GDPR will still apply

Internal Inventories

Although there are some exemptions for smaller organisations, in general you must have and maintain an inventory of all data you hold, the reasons for holding it and the other attributes, but not limited to retention, safeguards and data types.

Requirement of ‘data portability’

Customers will have the right to obtain and use their personal data for their own purposes across different services. You will havw to be able to provide customers with a machine readable copy of their data.

The ‘right to be forgotten’

Customers now have the right, in certain circumstances, to have data about them erased, removed or de-indexed. Are your IT systems and business processes able to take this into account?

Data Subject ‘consent’ Required

Businesses must be able to demonstrate that the consent of the data subject was presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable and specific to the purpose for which it will be used. Consent can no longer be by default or implied.

Data Protection Office (DPO)

A DPO is a new role where certain organisations will be required to have depending on the type and volume of data beign processed.

Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)

The regulation requires business to carry out DPIAs where the processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights of individuals and particularly when using new technologies, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing.

Reporting Data Breeches

In addition to reporting requirements from other regulations, the GDPR will require communication with the Data Protection Commissioner within 72 hours and/or informing the affected data subjects ‘without undue delay’ in high risk cases.

Subject Access Rights

Data subjects will enjoy stronger access rights. Where an access request is received, you must respond within the shorter time frame of one month and cannot charge a fee unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
