Keytools Stock Ergonomic Desks from Denmark

According to a survey done recently by the BBC , RSI can cost UK industries £20 billion annually. Last year 5.4 million working days were lost in sick leave due to RSI. Everyday 6 people in the UK leave their jobs because of RSI and 1 in 50 of all workers in the UK have reported an RSI condition. However alarming this may sound, these figures can be dramatically reduced by adopting simple methods of prevention. Providing safe and ergonomic work environments is the first step. An ergonomic environment basically means creating surroundings and equipment to fit the worker in order to generate higher levels of productivity. This is exactly what SIS height adjustable desks do. SIS is a leading Scandinavian Furniture Designer, who for over 25 years have been providing employers and employees around Europe and America with ergonomically designed height adjustable desks for office environment. These ergonomically designed desks come in a variety of ranges. Currently available at Keytools, the UK’s leading provider of ergonomic solutions for computer users in business and education is the Generation Five range of desks. This range comprises of desks have two forms of adjustability. Crank Handle uses a mechanical system which is useful for employees who share the same desk at different times.The Electric version allows the employee to adjust the height of the desk to whatever height position is comfortable. For example if the user feels the need to stand and work, he can easily raise the desk to standing position. Providing your staff with ergonomic workstations is a decision that will benefit your company in the long term because ergonomic workstations can increase employee productivity by 2% which can result in huge savings. It might lower the number of employees leaving the company as an office environment that’s positive and comfortable gives employees a reason to stay.
