Ergonomics and How it Can Help You in the Office Environment

Precisely, what is ergonomics, and how does it affect how you work?

Queen Bed Risers

Wikipedia says: 'Ergonomics is the science of organising the task, equipment, and workspace to fit the employee. Good ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability and symptoms.'

Queen Bed Risers

So, on the face of it that sounds relatively simple does it not? Well let's break it down into bite sized chunks.

Task organisation... Am I using...

o A computer work station
o Control desk
o CCTV Monitoring or industrial plant MHI
o Several desks
o Several monitors
o Keyboard and mouse
o Several computer programmes at once
o A telephone for long periods
o An Office chair for short long periods

Equipment organisation

o DSE assessment
o Order new chair and select arms and back height.
o Order desk
o Order other ergonomic aids if required.
o Telephone headset

Workspace.

Read notes on DSE assessment, taking note of recommendations. Site workstation in suitably lit area. Assemble the workstation.

Desk (Including risers) Office Chair - check operation and ask for demo. Monitor at correct height Keyboard wrist rest Foot rest Mouse gel pad

First of all we need to define the task. We'll take Joe, 29, our imaginary CAD designer as an example. Joe is 6'5" tall weighs a healthy 14.5 stones and has some intermittent lower back pains not helped at all with his passion for rowing and sailing and not forgetting 8 hours a day at his workstation tapping away for Queen and country. Joe hopes to sail around the World in 2012 as part of the Clipper Round the World Race, but is procrastinating over a golfers elbow injury he picked up on a sailing course in the Solent near Southampton.

Joe uses AutoCAD software and Microsoft office suite to perform his daily tasks, like emailing, spreadsheets and word documents. He has hard copy drawings for reference and the usual office paraphernalia like phones and stationery trays.

Joe was asked to sit at an office chair on a workstation in the corner, a little out of the way but it was used by the guy that left last week and looked okay. Joe sat at the office desk, but couldn't get his knees under the desk top, so he adjusted the gas to its lowest setting. The chair arms were a D shape and he couldn't get near enough to the desk to use the keyboard without stooping, exacerbated by the monitor positioned low on the desk. With his legs stretched out in front of him, Joe was almost doubled over; in the same position he was in just last Sunday morning ready to make the first pull on the oar. The edge of the seat was somewhere in the middle of his thigh. Every now and again Joe had to take a little walk, stretch, and rest his eyes. Not a bad thing you might say, that's right, only Joe was having to take breaks every 15 minutes or so.

He'd noticed of late his elbow had been quite inflamed and particularly his right wrist. It was when he was rubbing his elbow in the tea room that Josie from occupational health saw him massaging his funny bone.

Luckily for our hero, Josie the Occupational Health nurse was quite clued up on funny bones and other extraneous body parts - but we won't go into that right now, suffice to say Joe was sequestered back to his workstation for a good going over.

After assessing Joes' tasks, Josie measured him up and instantly suggested desk raisers, a new multi-adjustable, high back, high stem ergonomic chair with a lumbar pump. Into the bargain Josie suggested mouse and keyboard gel pads.

Joe's workspace was nice and bright, excellent for reading small detail on drawings but not so good when using a computer monitor. After some gentle questioning, Josie - and we should know her by now - recommended moving the desk so the light was out of Joes sight line, and an eye test, as our hero had been suffering a nagging eyestrain and the odd headache of late.

Josie filled out the assessment forms and 48 hours later Joes' new ergonomic gear arrived. Josie came over and along with the installer set out Joe's new workstation and demonstrated the multi function chair.

Joe is now a happy bunny and spends many an hours adjusting his lumbar and relieving pressure on his coccyx, whilst Josie is the proud recipient of a box of roses chocolates.

I'd like to say that Joe asked Josie out, but Joe is a little shy when it comes to the ladies.

10 Reasons to Raise Carniolan Bees Instead of Western Honey Bees in the City

How about growing your own honey bees or trying a gentle cousin of the Italian (Western) honey bee? These hardy bees are becoming popular for the urbanite that wants honey and the flowers and local trees pollinated.

Queen Bed Risers

Maybe one way to help our pollination problems with the vanishing honey bee is to begin to use the Italian honey bees cousin bee the Carniolans, or Carnies, a subspecies) Apis mellifera carnica.
This bee does not seem to be troubled by the Varroa mites and other diseases that are devastating the honey bees. It defend itself successfully against insect pests while at the same time being Extremely gentle and non aggressive in its behavior toward beekeepers. Able to adjusting worker population to nectar availability rapidly. The queen can decrease brood production when the quantities of nectar change. When nectar production is high the queen will produce large numbers of worker bees and when production of worker bees in the brood is slowed. Can be kept in urban areas. Carnies are more home bodies with a better sense of direction then the Italian honey bee. More resistant to brood diseases. Early risers, who forage in early morning, on cool, wet days and stay out working till later in the evening. They stay in small groups lover the winter season.

Queen Bed Risers

Of course no bee is perfect here is the down side to Carniolans
They do not like groups and will swarm if their numbers get too large. They produce less wax than their cousin the honey bee. They do not like hot weather so much for bringing them to the desert.

These bees are being raised on roof tops across the country in urban setting even though it technically is against local city ordinances. The greening of America continues.

Five Creative Designs For Your Bedroom in Platform Beds

Platform beds are designed to be used with just a mattress. They incorporate their own foundation into the bed frame that consists of either slats or solid decking. No box springs are used on platform beds as the foundation of these beds is designed higher up providing for more space beneath the bed and a more open look.

Queen Bed Risers

If you're reading this article you're likely shopping for a new bed and are interested in knowing your options in the way of different bed options for these beds. Platform beds are available in a variety of designs and styles and knowing the different types of bed available may help you to visualize the type of bedroom you'd like to have. Let's take a look at some of the styles available within platform beds.

Queen Bed Risers

1. Under Bed Storage - These beds feature either built in under bed drawers or have drawers independent of the bed system that allow them to be added later. Having built in under bed storage can provide that additional storage needed if the room is lacking in the way of closet space or case goods that can store clothing, bedding or anything else you need to store.

2. Bed Lift System - This is a somewhat newer innovation in platform beds in that there is a hydraulic lift system that is incorporated into the bed frame and most often lifts up to reveal storage systems below. This provides and maintains a clean look to the overall appearance of the bed and offers hidden storage beneath the mattress.

3. Bookcase Storage Headboard - Another bed feature available is in the way of bookcase storage headboards. These were relatively unnoticed until the waterbed industry started to incorporate them into their designs and waterbed frames in the 1970's and 1980's and would feature bookcase storage headboards to help provide the user with more storage options. The latest in platform bed designs incorporate new designs in bookcase storage headboards but with sleek and functional platform style frames.

4. Footboard Cabinet with TV Lift - An interesting feature that is beginning to be added to platform beds is a TV lift system inside a footboard cabinet. It works often by wired or wireless remote and allows you to activate a lift system within the footboard cabinet that raises the TV up and out of the unit. This is being used in regular entertainment center cabinets and some bed manufacturers are starting to incorporate this design into their platform beds. Very cool in that you can store your flat screen TV inside the cabinet and then call it by remote when ready to be watched.

5. Round Bed - Most beds are rectangular in shape but what about a round bed? Yes, these are available in platform style as well and the most user friendly of these use regular size mattresses that drop into them. Queen and King sizes are the typical platform beds offered in these round designs and by allowing regular size mattresses to be dropped into them it makes it easier to find sheets and bedding and replacing the mattress over time won't be an issue. These beds often have built in nightstands as well which make up for the amount of space these beds will require.

In this article we've taken a look at just some of the many platform bed options available to enhance both your bed and bedroom. Among these were under bed storage options which will give you some much needed space to store clothing, bedding and other items when space is limited. Bed lift systems work in a similar fashion except that the bed lifts up to reveal storage space beneath. Bookcase storage headboards made popular in waterbeds are now being incorporated into platform bed systems. Pop-up entertainment footboards provide another unique feature for your platform bed and will allow you to watch TV in bed but enclose the TV when you're done. Finally round beds which provide a unique look for your bedroom in the way of a round design which can accommodate standard mattresses.

Whether you're looking for more storage in your bed or trying to get a more original look for your bedroom, platform beds can offer many options to you in spicing up the appearance of a bedroom or making it more functional for yourself or others. So consider a platform bed when shopping for new bedroom furniture.

Advantages of a Headboard Bed

A headboard is defined as a piece of furniture that is attached to the head of a bed. Traditionally a headboard was used to isolate the sleeper from drafts and cold walls. The headboard would leave space between the bed and the wall and allow the cold air to sink to the floor. If the bed was pushed against the wall then the cold air would settle on the bed making the sleeper uncomfortable. Headboards were made out of wood because wood becomes less cold than bricks or stones. Humanity has made tremendous progress over the years and the improvements in architecture have made the traditional function of a headboard redundant. Still headboard beds are very popular and in this article we will find out more about modern headboards and what the advantages of a headboard bed are.

Queen Bed Risers

In today's modern times when we live in better heated and better insulated buildings the function of a headboard has changed. Nowadays headboards are used to hold the Pillows or bed linens. The headboard can perform a variety of functions. It can be used for simple storage. You can use the headboard to hold pillows and bed linens or you can design it to contain a bookshelf and keep a few books or other items on it. The headboard also performs a number of comfort functions. When you are watching TV or reading a book you can sit up and lean against the headboard. Headboards can be very comfortable and may be accompanied by a spragging board at the foot of the bed. The spragging board can also be used for storage or to provide comfort for the feet.

Queen Bed Risers

A headboard can be completely utilitarian but nowadays they have a lot of aesthetic values as well. Headboards are design favorite for interior designers and they add a lot of style to the room. Headboards are available in a variety of colors and can be made from different materials. For a classic look you can get a wooden headboard. If you want to give your room a more edgy look you can get one made out of metal or wrought iron. Upholstered headboards are very comfortable and if you are fond of reading or watching TV in your bed this is the choice for you. Depending on what you prefer, you can choose a headboard that is in a shape that you like.

They are available in the simple square design. You can also get headboards that have rounded corners or are arched. Headboards are available for every bed size; the main sizes available are twin, full, queen, and king and California king. The twin size can also be referred to as single while full is called double. Headboards can add a lot of style to a room and can be an excellent focus for the design in the room. If you are redecorating or are getting a new place you should definitely look at headboards beds not only for their style but for their practical uses as well.

Bed Frame Risers

One of the things we notice in our homes is that as time passes by, it seems to shrink in size from the inside. This is because many people tend to accumulate certain things. This is why it is always a good way to sort out your things periodically, and get rid of those that are no longer needed. You can do that by selling or giving them away to friends and relatives. However, if you have a growing family, you will have no choice but to look for ways in making more storage space in your house. You actually do not have to build another room for this. All you need to have are the spaces under your beds. To be able to utilize them effectively though, you will need bed frame risers.

Queen Bed Risers

Bed frame risers are literally a "poor mans" answer to creating extra space in your home, specifically for additional storage, where at times it is not practical to have other storage systems, such as wardrobes, or furniture such as a chest of drawers. This may be for economical reasons, (furniture can be expensive), or it could simply be making better utilization of existing space in rooms where spare space is not abundant.

Queen Bed Risers

With these bed frame risers, you will be able to come up with extra storage space in your house. This works by lifting your beds vertically, making more room for storing certain things underneath it. There are many things you can store under your bed. One example is seasonal things, such as seasonal clothing you may use for specific seasons only. You can also store your Christmas decors under your bed, since you will only need them on that occasion. Moreover, you can also store you shoes, books, bed linens, and other items under your bed.

There are many kinds of bed risers you can choose from these days. This is because they are highly in demand due to the benefits they impart to their owners. In choosing the kind of bed risers though, you need to take note of the size of your bed. The bigger your bed is, the sturdier your bed riser should be. For example, if you have a King or Queen Size bed, make sure that you will also have two center support legs. This will ensure that your bed will be carried effectively. Such kinds of bed risers are usually the sturdy metal type.

Another type is called the block type, which are made of stackable blocks. With each set of this kind of bed risers, you will be able to raise your bed from 1 to 2 inches. Unlike the other kind, this is made out of durable plastic. This bed frame risers have interlocking design for safe stacking, and also to prevent the frame from slipping. Compare these two types of bed risers by checking them out on the nearest store. See to it that you will be able to choose the most appropriate kind in terms of your bed and your needs.

Bed Frame Risers, in conclusion, can be seen as a very practical, cost effective alternative to bulky and expensive storage furniture, and can be the practical alternative for extra storage where space is at a premium.

How to Make a Loft Bed

Bed space-savers and multi-function bunkers; loft beds are best for utilizing space wisely in our rooms. They not only offer beds to lie on-loft beds also provide small storages or cabinets or shelves underneath. And now we can make them ourselves.

Queen Bed Risers

Yeah, that's right, we said you can do it yourself and this home project is a perfect home addition for novice carpenters as well as skilled ones. So if you are a novice, don't be scared. Just have a plan and stick to it. Before you know it that loft bed will be ready for use.

Queen Bed Risers

1. First, we need the loft bed posts. Have the 4 posts measure 4 by 4 inches by 8 feet.

2. We need to form a rectangular box shape of 40 by 78 inches with 5 and 1/2 inches height supported by these four posts. The rectangular box is formed by connecting 2 by 6 by 8 lumber pieces at their corners using 3-inch screws. Into this box we fit the plywood to form the lying on area of the loft bed.

3. Hold 2 posts parallel each other at a distance of 78 inches from outer edge to outer edge. Attach the posts to the 2 by 6 by 8 rectangular box by drilling holes on the post and at the box corners and inserting 4-inch and 3/8 inch bolts through them. Repeat the process with the other corners of the rectangular box and the 2 remaining posts. After this, we have the loft bed (rectangular box) connected to the post.

4. Make another loft bed (rectangular box) for the upper level. Connect this upper level bed in the same way as the first loft bed level. Then we make a wooden ladder with a riser height of 10 inches. Attach the ladder to the double loft bed with bolts, nuts, and washers at the foot and header, and also at the mid section, if possible. We may attach this ladder on any part of the loft bed.

5. Then, apply sanding on all the exposed surfaces of the loft bed before painting. Make sure that the upper level has enough head clearance with regards to the ceiling and do not make the loft bed size too narrow or wide. Check the dimensions of the loft bed to fit the available mattress size. And double check the safeness and sturdiness of the ladder material, construction, and attachment.

Always use machine bolts and nuts to attach the rectangular box to the posts. Make use of the space underneath for small storages or built-in cabinets or drawers. There are ready made units (wooden or metal) of these ready to be attached using studs.

Loft beds are the best option for space-saving bedroom ideas. They're easy to assemble and practical to use long term. Moreover, kids just love them.
