Ergonomic recommendations
Your chair is the most important piece of furniture to select. Sitting at a desk
for long periods is one of the biggest causes of physical problems in todays
corporate environment. Improper posture can cause many problems including
head aches, neck pain, back pain, nausea and fatigue. Remember, fit your
chair to your body, not your body to your chair.
1. Sit deeply in your chair allowing your back to be as close as possible to the
backrest with legs slightly apart to create a wider support base.
2. Ensure the lumbar support is in the correct position to support your spine
(where your belt normally sits).
3. Keep your head and neck in alignment with your shoulders and spine which
maintains the healthy 'S' curve of good posture.
4. Ensure that your chair is at the right height and that your elbows are at the
same height (or a little higher) than your worksurface.
5. Keep your shins perpendicular with the floor (90° angle).
6. Lean your lower arms on the armrests (if fitted) to create a 90° angle between
your upper and lower arms.
7. Get up and walk, stand or stretch when possible to avoid sitting for extended
periods.
Maintenance and upkeep of the chair
Advanta chairs are manufactured to stringent standards and the only maintenance
generally required is to keep them clean. Specific care instructions for upholstery
coverings attached to the chair must be followed.
All maintenance work should be carried out by authorised Advanta repair agents.
