Ergonomics: the science
of fitting jobs to people
• Improves the “fit” between worker/workplace.
• Uses a scientific yet a practical approach
• Is an integral part of every efficient workplace that:
– Recognizes a person’s capabilities
– Understands the job/task
– Understands physical attributes
– Refines work processes

than any other chair on the market.
Swivel lateral arms

are wider than their shoulders with proper arm rests.
Geometrically shaped adjustment paddles
• Assist with making adjustability understood and allows us to easily
explain
( in person, on the phone or online ) to individuals how to use the
chair.
Air flow technology ( exclusive to the airCentric™ series of chairs )
•Allows us to fit individuals that need the benefits of an airflow seat
and/or back but who do not fit traditional mesh seat and/or back chairs.
