ABSTRACT

Wireless technology has changed the way in which people are able to work. They are not bound to their desks as they formerly were. People can perform computer-based operations virtually anywhere within and outside the office. However, the majority of computer users sit at dedicated workstations within the office to perform their work. The chapter considers the design, layout, and use of desks, chairs and accessories such as footrests, wristrests, document holders, headsets, and reading slopes, and the impact of one on another when used in conjunction. The design of the undersurface of the desk is just as important as the worksurface because it can have an impact on comfort levels. With the advent of open-plan offices, partitions have been employed to offer a degree of privacy, acoustic control and to provide demarcation between departments or teams. Document holders, should be provided in situations where an individual has to refer to documents while interacting with the screen or keyboard.
