Excerpt from the online instruction office workstation/ ergonomics

Should you have the desire,

• to let take a look at your workstation by the safety engineer & company physician,
• to get a councelling respective workstation by the safety engineer & company physician,
• for health reasons to get a high- adjustable desk,

then please proceed as follows:

1.     make an appointment

• for a workstation inspection on site
• including advice from the safety engineer & company physician 
• --> Appointments are made via the assistance of the occupational health service
  

2.      If necessary inform your supervisor (he/she does not have to be presented at the visit!!)

3.      Carrying out the workstation inspection including advice regarding

• how do I sit correctly,
• which aids are suitable for me and
• if necessary, how can I request a height- adjustable desk

 To apply for a height- adjustable desk, there are 2 options:

• You`ll get 2 forms for applying at the pension insurance from the safety engineers after the inspection on site and
• fill out these forms and 
• apply the desc at the pension insurance (RV Hessen).
• A requested desk is then your property and can be taken along with employer change.

     Via own cost centre: to order

• You order the desk after inspection via your cost centre.
• A desk acquired in this way is the property of GSI & FAIR and can not be taken along when changing employers.

Please note: even with a height adjustable desk, the alternation between standing and sitting is important. Therefore your workstation should be set correctly and this requires advice on VDU workstation by the safety engineer & company physician.
