Office Chair Placement Notice

Office chairs should be placed in accordance with standard requirements to ensure safety and order, as detailed below:

I. Basic Placement Principles Office chairs should be fixed directly in front of the desk, maintaining an appropriate distance of approximately 50-70 centimeters from the desktop. This distance is designed based on ergonomic principles, preventing shoulder and neck fatigue caused by sitting too close and reducing the need for frequent leaning forward or stretching due to sitting too far away, thereby lowering the risk of muscle strain and enhancing work efficiency. Additionally, chairs should be aligned with the edge of the desk to ensure employees maintain an upright sitting posture, reducing the likelihood of spinal curvature issues caused by slouching.

II. Prohibition of Random Movement The company explicitly prohibits the random movement of office chairs to other locations. This requirement is based on two main considerations:

1. Safety Hazards: Random movement may result in uneven friction between the chair and the floor, causing the chair legs to loosen or the wheels to jam. For example, if a chair is pushed to the edge of a carpet or a threshold, the wheels may stop suddenly due to uneven resistance, causing employees to fall when getting up due to inertia. Furthermore, during movement, chairs may scratch the floor surface, especially wooden or composite floors, leaving irreversible marks from long-term friction.
2. Order Maintenance: The layout of office areas is usually uniformly planned, and random movement of chairs disrupts overall coordination and affects team image. For instance, if chairs around a conference table are moved to other workstations, it may lead to insufficient seating during meetings, interfering with normal work processes.

III. Alternative Adjustment Solutions If employees need to adjust their sitting posture due to height, body type, or work requirements, the company provides the following safe alternative solutions:

1. Height Adjustment: Adjust the seat height using the pneumatic rod or knob at the bottom of the chair to a position where both feet are flat on the ground and the knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, avoiding leg suspension or excessive pressure.
2. Auxiliary Accessories: Use seat cushions to increase buttock support or add lumbar supports to fill the gap between the lower back and the chair back, alleviating prolonged sitting pressure. For example, memory foam lumbar supports can conform to the spinal curve and distribute lower back pressure evenly.
3. Rest Management: Take a 5-minute break every 1-2 hours of work to stand up, stretch, or walk around, promoting blood circulation and reducing fatigue caused by prolonged fixed sitting postures.

IV. Handling of Special Circumstances If chairs need to be moved temporarily for tasks such as team collaboration or equipment maintenance, they should be returned to their original positions immediately after use, and the stability of the chair legs and the flexibility of the wheels should be checked. If any looseness, abnormal noises, or damage to the chair are detected, contact the logistics department promptly for repair or replacement to avoid accidents caused by equipment failure.
