Ergonomics & occupational safety
Ergonomics isn't a nice-to-have — it's a legal requirement. And a poorly designed workplace costs more than investing in good equipment.
What it's about
The Display Screen Equipment Ordinance, the Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV), DGUV regulations: the legal requirements for workplaces are extensive. At the same time, investing in good ergonomics pays off quickly — fewer back complaints, fewer accidents, fewer absences.
Why it pays off
Back disorders are the number-two cause of absence days. Ergonomic workplaces typically pay for themselves within 6–18 months — through lower absence alone and higher productivity.
