ERGONOMICS OVERVIEW
At Allsteel, we believe that being a leader in ergonomic office products means more
than showing users how to adjust their furniture. We believe in solving real, day-to-day
problems in the workplace. We believe in educating everyone on the benefits of ergonomics
and how to apply ergonomic principles in their workplace. Ergonomic considerations
are primary in our product development process, and important ergonomic and human
factor criteria are established early in the design phase. We think that product
innovation is the most direct way to help solve ergonomic issues in the workplace.
Our goal is to develop products that respond to issues confronting office workers
every day – today and into the future.

Technology and Testing
The Ergonomics Laboratory at Allsteel is home to a wide array of technology, allowing
our engineers to refine products throughout the development processes. The result
includes products that are comfortable, safe, and easy to use. Technology includes
pressure mapping, electromyography, force gauges, and temperature sensors.
Anthropometry
Anthropometry is the science of measuring body dimensions for a given population.
At Allsteel, we utilize the most current anthropometric databases to ensure our
products are tailored to meet a range of body sizes, and ensure that your furniture
offers optimal comfort and support.
Ergonomic Guidelines
Allsteel relies on a combination of HFES, BIFMA, and other standards to help develop
new products.
