Hypertec Ergo-Top - Manual (Page 2)

Legal requirements for laptop computing
By European legislation, employers are obliged to
take proper measurements to prevent physical
discomforts among their employees. Separate from
the screen the keyboard needs to be both tiltable and
freely movable to allow a comfortable working
position avoiding fatigue in the arms and hands. In
addition one must be able to increase the height of
the screen by placing a support underneath the
monitor. The document holder requires to be stable,
adjustable, and positioned so as to minimize
uncomfortable head and eye movements. These
guidelines do not only apply to desktop computers but
also to laptop computer stations. Hence without
additional precautions intensive laptop use is
prohibited. In some European countries, e.g. the
Netherlands, laptop use for a period of more than
two hours per day is forbidden. Using an Ergo-Q in
combination with an external keyboard complies with
legal workplace requirements and the laptop user is
no longer restricted to two hours per day of laptop
usage.
Scientific research
Recent studies in Sweden and the Netherlands show
that working with the Ergo-Q results in significant
improved body posture, more comfort, less
musculoskeletal pain and injuries and higher
productivity.
