Benefits of an Adjustable Height Workbench
Posted on March 13th 2023 by Paul Ellis - Marketing & Business Development Manager.
Is it time to make a stand in the workplace?!
It is generally well-known that sitting at work for 8 hours a day can be bad for your health, so today QMP takes a look at the benefits of an adjustable height workbench in the workplace.
Sitting and working at a desk for prolonged periods of time can have a detrimental impact on your health, including the risk of diabetes, heart disease, back problems and obesity.
One great solution to this health problem is standing at a desk…..
Why adjustable height workbenches are the perfect choice for your workplace
Height adjustable workbenches offer great versatility to the user allowing them to manually or electronically adjust the height of the bench. This allows them to complete work tasks either sitting or standing as needed.
Standing benches are becoming increasingly popular in the workplace because they offer many health and productivity benefits. Adjustable workbenches do cost more than a traditional fixed bench but can offer considerable long-term health benefits to your staff.
Here are QMP’s top 5 benefits of a height adjustable workbench.
Reduces Back Pain
Warehouses are generally very large spaces that are in frequent use so it’s highly likely that they will get untidy and dirty quickly. It’s vital to keep the space clean to ensure staff are safe and operations remain productive. Create cleaning schedules and plan what must be cleaned, ensure this is a process that must be adhered to. It should be a requirement to clean an area before work can be safely and effectively carried out.
Improve Energy Levels and Mood
The best way to include everyone in the team is to assign staff to a specific area of the warehouse to clean. Assign a worker to a zone they work in often so that they are more familiar with their surroundings. They can then confidently clean this specific area diligently without making a mess before leaving. Ensuring this is done regularly will help with workload and make the area cleaner and easier to use for colleagues.
Increase productivity
If you want your employees to keep the warehouse space clean and safe you need to provide the right equipment and storage facilities. Make sure the equipment is stored conveniently so that employees don’t have to search for cleaning materials.
Reduce risk of weight gain
It’s very important to encourage your employees to act responsibly and recycle or reuse items in the warehouse where possible. Ensure recycle bins are placed in the workplace so that employees are disposing of waste in the right place. This will make sure that supplies that are being used in the operation can be reused instead of being replaced, reducing costs and making your operation more sustainable as a result.
Reduce risk of heart disease
It may be time for a good spring clean of your warehouse! Remove and relocate obsolete goods or outdated products to avoid cluttering up the workplace. Stock that has been stored for a while is not only costly for your business to hold but also starts to accumulate dust that can lead to hazardous complications.
