Equipment to improve safety and comfort

Some people experience discomfort when spending several hours sat at a desk using a computer. Additional equipment can be used to ensure the safety and comfort of your employees. Here are some of the things you can purchase to help your employees.

Footrest
To improve posture when the feet don’t reach the floor.

Copyholder
When referring to written material when using the PC, raising documents off the desk helps avoid repetitive head and neck movement, which may contribute to neck/upper back strain.

Wrist Rest
Wrist rests should only be used to rest the hands when not typing. Using them during typing restricts the free movements of the hands (meaning fingers have to stretch to reach the keys), this also places pressure on the underside of the wrist which can aggravate the nerves and tendons in the wrist causing discomfort.

Mouse
Available in right or left-handed, small, medium or large. The ergonomic shape supports the palm and so helps maintain straight wrist alignment which allows the mouse to be used with less finger “pinching” force resulting in reduced wrist strain. Sculpted elevated buttons also help to reduce strain on the fingers

Anti-Glare Screen Filters
For use with CRT monitors, not Flat Screen Monitors.
