The quality and adjustment of one´s office chair is essential to prevent ailments. These requirements should be fulfilled by a swivel chair at an office workstation: The swivel chair must not have sharp edges and should possess an upholstered, breathable, antistatic seat- and backrest. The backrest can also be in net fabric. The swivel chair should be stable and should not tilt over and has minimum 5 rollers. The roll resistance has to be adapted to the surface it stands on. Thus soft rollers with rubber coating are suitable for tile, stone, cork or parquet floors and hard rollers in plastic for textile floors like carpet. The swivel chair should yield when sitting down (depth springing) thus absorbing the sudden increase of load. The seating height is steplessly adjustable between 400 and 530 mm. An anatomical seat rest prevents sliding and supports a straight pelvis. The seat depth has minimum 370 up to 470 mm. An adjustment of depth of the seat, tilt of the seat or / and a completely moving frame (rocking and swinging chairs).
The seat width should be minimum 400 up to 480 mm. The backrest is anatomically shaped thus supporting the spine and the iliac crest. The width of the backrest should be between 360 and 400 mm. The backrest can be adjusted dynamically. A sufficient height (minimum shoulder blade height) should be taken into regard. An interlinked seat-backrest-tilt adjustment (synchro-mechanics) is recommended as this supports the active dynamic change in body positions and the feed of the intervertebral disc. Some swivel chairs enable a three-dimensional seating dynamic thanks to ball joints, i. e. besides the forward and backward movement a sideward movement. Armrests are perfect for relieving the neck and shoulder region. They should be height adjustable (180 mm to 290 mm), minimum 200 mm long and 40 mm wide. Adjustable headrests relieve the neck and shoulder region and offer additional prevention against Tension and pains in the upper back area. The best chair is useless if not correctly adjusted to the body shape and height of the user.
Correct sitting is a skill. A few tips for ideal adjustment: Seating height: The angle between thigh and lower leg should be 90 degrees when the feet are placed on the ground. Seat depth: distance between knee bend and seat rest should be 2 to 5 cm when leaning against the backrest. Seat tilt: the seat tilt can be adjusted according to need and feel. Backrest: The centre of the lumbar support is at the level of the waistline. Armrest: The angle between upper and forearm is 90 degrees and the arms lie loosely on the table. Alternative seating furniture can be complements in individual cases but not a replacement for a swivel chair. The regular change in sitting position and the alteration of sitting, standing and walking is strongly recommended in daily work life. Do you have further questions?

(CJHDevCo) chair Robert Sobrepeña last June. In a seven-page order dated Dec. 19 and received early this week by the DOJ, Pasay RTC Branch 119 Judge Pedro Gutierrez denied the motion for reconsideration filed by government prosecutors on behalf of the Bases Conversion Development Authority, which had sued Sobrepeña for allegedly reneging on the lease agreement he signed. The judge upheld his Sept. 3 ruling that BCDA’s president Arnel Casanova failed to establish probable cause in accusing Sobrepeña of making false representation that the company was incapable of paying rentals for Camp John Hay. “BCDA agreed to restructure the debt under the lease agreement. The accused (Sobrepeña) cannot be held liable for CJHDevCo’s failure to pay those rentals,” the court said in its order.
The judge said the DOJ “made a palpable error of selective prosecution” when it filed a case against Sobrepeña without including all the members of the board of directors of CJHDevCo. “This case was filed with the DOJ after a lapse of 14 years when the obligation was incurred in 1998. This violated the Bill of Rights under our Constitution for accused to have a speedy trial and due process of law,” Gutierrez added. BCDA earlier argued that CJHDevCo, the developer of the former American recreation facility in Baguio City, deliberately chose not to perform its rental obligations despite the existence of retained earnings and other revenues. However, the Sobrepeña camp contended that the BCDA agreed to defer rental payments under two restructuring memoranda of agreements signed in August 1999 and July 2000. In the “whereas” clause of the last MoA, Sobrepeña said it was expressly stated that CJHDevCo’s inability to undertake its development plans and realize its projected sales and revenues were caused by BCDA’s admitted breaches of the lease agreement, delays in fulfilling its obligations and the detrimental effects of the Asian financial crisis on the Philippine economy.
The RTC noted that BCDA acknowledged the problems encountered by CJHDevCo, partially caused by delays on the part of BCDA that to the deferment of rental payments. The court also noted that it was a joint committee comprised of officers of both CJHDevCo and BCDA that ruled to allow the deferment of payments. “If there was misrepresentation as to the financial condition of CJHDevCo, the officers/directors of BCDA who are members of the committee might have been remiss, if not fell short, of their duty to determine the financial capacity or incapacity of CJHDevCo to pay its obligations,” the judge ruled. Gutierrez also underscored Sobrepeña’s transparency with BCDA, adding that there was no evidence that Sobrepeña concealed the corporate records and financial statements of CJHDevCo to BCDA or that he persuaded, if not insisted, BCDA to enter into the contract. “The very stipulations of the MOAs appear to be a product of negotiations, verification and careful, if not meticulous, evaluation.
