Ergonomic workplace - this is what it looks like

Ergonomics is the magic word for working as healthily as possible in the office. Computer, mouse, keyboard, desk and office chair should enable a relaxed and natural posture to prevent tension and pain.

A screen that is easy on the eyes, comfortable and functional computer furniture as well as the right lighting and room temperature are the basis for effective work. But only the correct arrangement of the work equipment can protect against one-sided, back-straining work postures. The arrangement also depends on the type of screen work and should encourage you to get up more often and to do some activities while standing.
