Dynamic seats and in between times are

"Sitting is not the same as sitzen", Professor Peter Deibert, &auml says;medical Director of the Institute für motion and occupational medicine at the University hospital Freiburg. Better than a rigid set of so-called dynamic &shy was;Sit. This äyou changed möas is often the Position – and, the best on a ergonomic Arbeitschair, the turn lässt and Sitzfläche and Rücover backrest with each other to move.

30 per cent of the working time should be standing spend. Ideally, a table whose H&ouml is;Hey variable l&auml set;sst.

Who is very static, sit, want, or need, should the thighs horizontally and the Füße is loose on the floor. Armrests, the shoulders can help, in spite of Computertäto relax tightness. Physicians Deibert: "The Hände should be on the keyboard that you möas possible a line with the forearm and in no direction auffällig are bent."

In glorious summer sunshine , it is draußup to 100 000 Lux light. No künstliches light can keep up with that. Für screen and Büroarbeitsplätze occupational health physicians recommend a Beleuchtungsstästrength of 500 Lux. "This is considered to be the Minimum at which normal-sighted without problems k&ouml read;nnen", Professor Stephan Letzel, Director of the Institute f&uuml says;r work-, Social – and environmental medicine at the Universitätsmedizin Mainz. Optimal brightness is especially important, because the eye at low Lichtstästrength with age, increasingly ermüdet.

At the same time should screen workers to make sure that it is not strong to be blinded. "Screen and shoulder should be to the side sein&quot to the window aligned;, Letzel says. So the light of day seems to be not directly from the front of the Monitor, yet it forms a strong contrast.

A break is perceived as Stress, should also be openly dümay. Harth: "Disgruntled employees and a high level of sickness absence benefits no one."
