The Covid-19 emergency forced us to take containment measures and transform our homes into jobs. But how to create the ideal smart working station?
Let's see some tricks to follow to avoid that our improvised workstations (most of the time not suitable for working hours) can create posture problems and annoying pains or inconveniences. So How to Find Best Place for office? Here we are with the answers.
How to set up a smart working station
Generally the workstation that the smart worker sets up to work from home is used occasionally, but in this period, due to the ongoing emergency, it has become a fixed workstation for many. But what are the elements to consider in order preparing everything necessary to work well and safely?
Define the work area
It is not always possible to create a space at home exclusively for work, but we should try as much as possible to separate the professional from the personal, creating a boundary (ideal, but also physical) between the space dedicated to work and those of the private sphere.
It is advisable to use dividing elements to delimit spaces, such as shelves or plants, taking care to obtain a space that leaves sufficient freedom of movement. In case you live with other people, they may also be useful to have a little more privacy.
To choose the area in which to set up the smart working station, it is essential to consider the position of the windows, ideally, the worker should position himself parallel to the light source, to avoid glare on the screen or a front glare effect.
Organize the station
The workstation at home should be organized as much as possible with the same criteria as the one in the office.
This is because the main risks associated with the work of video terminals depend directly on the components of the workstation, support surface, seat, screen, keyboard, mouse, etc.
Work plan
First of all you have to choose the support surface that will become our desk: it is better to avoid white and glossy surfaces, which could create annoying reflections.
It is also necessary to pay attention, because generally the tables that furnish the house are higher than a desk and the height ratio between the worktop and the seat is not designed to guarantee a comfortable and safe stay for many hours.
