The sedentary lifestyles have been associated with the adverse health outcomes that include  systemic disorders, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and even some cancers. The sedentary work includes the work involving the prolonged standing and sitting. Hence, it is advised to the office employees to:


  • Walk more when at work
  • Avoid the sending emails if the recipient is near – instead walk over and talk to them
  • Have some walking meetings
  • Use the stairs instead of the elevators
  • Take a long route to the photocopier or bathroom
  • Park the car further away from the building


Workstations that are fully adjustable in the height enable the users to easily alternate between work in standing and standing, which can be useful for some of the individuals with certain musculoskeletal conditions. The user must ensure that they build up the standing tolerance and change the position frequently as the prolonged standing can also prove to be hazardous.

 The stand up computer workstation accessories are designed to be used with an existing desk. They might sit directly on, or are attached to an existing desk and provide a cost-efficient mechanism for alternating between sitting and standing. They are useful with workstations that are pre-configured with adjoining partitions but only permit a small section of the workstation to be used in the standing. They can also introduce the new ergonomic hazards as they increase height of a standard desk when used in the sitting. This might mean that the individual is unable to raise the chair to appropriate height which can introduce the additional body stressing risks. In addition, a footrest might be required to support the feet and maintain  the appropriate hip position.

A fully adjustable workstation allows everything on the desk to move up and down for the use by user in standing or sitting and can be adjusted for use by the multiple people of the various heights. They must have minimum of 100kg of safe working load (which includes weight of the desk top surface) and ideally be motor-operated with the plug into wall (not a battery pack that can be more prone to the failure) or employ hydraulic mechanism to enable the ease of adjustment.

The adjustable workstations can be purchased from the renowned and reputed online stores at affordable prices. Always purchase them from the best and known manufacturers. You can also purchase them in bulk as per your needs and requirements. Buy the adjustable workstations today for a safe and healthy life of your employees. Make sure to perform a deep search online before you make the final purchase.
