Workstation set up
• Position the monitor and keyboard
directly in front of you. •
Adjust the height of your chair so that your forearms and wrists slope
slightly towards your keyboard. •
If your feet are not firmly on the floor use a footrest. •
Set your monitor at approximately one arms length from you. •
Ensure that the top of your monitor is just below eye level.
• Position your keyboard so that
your elbows hang freely at your side. Your hands should be as close
as possible to your body. •
Angle your monitor to reduce glare and contrast.
• Vary your sitting position throughout
the day to suit the task.
For screen work you may use the classic position where everything
is at right angles: neck, thighs elbows and legs are at right angles
to the floor. The chair must be adjusted to support your spine in
the natural ‘S’ curve.
For reading and writing it is best for your back if the seat of your
chair is tilted forward to follow your movement so that there is no
pressure on the thighs and arteries under them. The chair must be
adjusted to support your spine in the natural ‘S’ curve.

Seating Selection
Gregory Dual Density Seating

The pelvis sinks into the softer section of the seat. The firmer foam
at the front discourages the pelvis from sliding forward into the
slouching “C” curve. With the adjustable lumbar support,
the spin is kept in the healthy “S” curve creating less
stress on the arms, shoulders and neck.
Bionomic Seating

Revolutionary design that works to save your entire body from the
stress of sitting. The difference is the adjustable patented seat
cushion of bionomic support solutions. The chair, designed by Chiropractor,
Dr. Jeffrey J. Herbert, supports your pelvic and lower spine in the
most effective posture to minimise muscle stress and strain. Optimal
body posture, means less fatigue and higher productivity for you and
your team.
Therapod Seating

Designed to provide correct posture with optimal spinal support and
assists the user to specifically customise the fit of their product
to suit their own back shape. A combination of four adjustable straps,
allied with a highly flexible back shell, results in a back support
that conforms to the back shape of the user.
