Ginge !

cause my back pain is back to MENTAL and i can hardly move

can a chair cause this as i was fine when i moved offices when i was at fords and i got a new chair and now my back is hurting as im at a new company and using another chair

just wondering if its nothing related or if it is

dont fancy getting spaced out on morphine again but i can feel the pain starting already

Yes a chair can cause pain in your back to the way you are sitting!
Your chair should be adjustable to suit you to sit comfy in front of your desk etc

Your bum should also sit higher then your legs allowing you to have a straight posture (sp)!!

Take Recaro seats for an example, you'll find that your legs always sit higher then your botty, well in face it should always be the other way round. So Recaro's actually give you a slouching posture!

Does that make sense?

Yes it can cause back acke, try and sit properly, don't slouch over leaning towards a screen, or slouch down.

I used to visit a Chyropractor and had certain excersises I had to do between visits, basically if you do those regularly you should able to ease the pain.

If you do vist a chyropractor, DONT wear loose fitting boxershort, nothing worse than you old boy and his pals hanging out all over the shop while some bloke bends you in two

Yes, a decent adjustable chair can make a difference. It took nearly 4 months to find one that suited ME (the mupwits were trying to fob me off with 'executive' office seating, contrary to what was asked of them - supplier sent me a new salesman who had a bad back himself, and supplied me with samples much more suitable).

Try to adjust the chair you have first, as per these guidelines.

Ginge !

bill what chair you got as i know you got a fucked back

focusbird

Your employer should do a work station assessment as part of their health & safety policy

DROPTOP

im glad i do a hard physical job rather than having to sit in a chair all day ! dont know how you desk lads cope

spare a thought for the doleys that have to sit down AND watch tv all day!

DROPTOP

are you fucking joking health and safety ..... desk and chair ?! behave

Jim Galbally

what focusbird said, you should have an assesment, and your employer should act on it,if not, go speak to your union rep (you have joined a union, right?)

obviously in most places, everyone ignores the assesments and takes the piss out of the people doing them, but if you actually have an issue then they're quite handy

Ginge !

fucking union,,,, they aint got the same rights as before so generally there just legal advisors who aint qualified

btw i aint got a clue who the health and safty bods are

but i supervise a team of 5 and i get to choose things like this and as im new ill get away with it

just got me a flat screen monitor and infredd mouse and keyboard as jock ( one of the staff) spilt his water on my desk and made my pc blow up


the post was to ask if its connected as i had major back issues vefore when i moved to a temp office and got a new chair, they i moved again and the back issue stopped


now im in another chair i noticed my back starting to gain pain over again

btw forget the company rights bollox,,, never been into all that shite but i won the daily draw for 30 quid today for sales over 65 quid profit,,, seriously theres a draw everyday and he gaffer give the winner 30 quid cash

never knew about it until i won

Having been a DSE assessor for years I can tell you that over 30% of office chairs on the market do not comply with the regulations.

If a firm ignores the recommendations of a properly carried out assessment the penalties under the new European DSE legislation are considerable.

It's Czech Mate

By the way Ginge you worked for FORD

There is no fucking S on the end of it



And yes a chair will help.

Thanks for putting this thread out because i've now fixed my chair

For AGES i've had very sore legs at the back of my thighs. I thought i'd look at the seat option and realised i could tilt the base forward and now the pressure is off my legs.

Why the FUCK didnt i look before?

Ginge !

hey mate remember im a basically a call center chicken so a flatscreen monitor to use dos based programs is a impressive thing

at ford i had a fuck 14ins monitor that ahd a anoying high pitch whine to it

i also got a flat screen call logging counter thing in the corner of my office too,,,, but thats cause i got a false ceiling and cant fit the shitty monitors to the wall


gotta be said this place is looking after me,,,, give em 4 weeks before they sack me
