The AGR seal of approval for healthy learning and working
Have you ever worked out how much time you spend sitting down? It’s around 10 hours a day. Young adults, incidentally, sit for longer than those over 30. And we all sit for longer than ever before. This is shown in the latest DKV report, “How Healthy Is Germany?”
What can we as a school do about this? Ensure that sitting arrangements at school and in the office are as ergonomically sound as possible.
This means that, whether sitting or standing, it should encourage postures that are good for the body and help keep it healthy. Or, ideally, even encourage movement. That is why we consult movement scientists right from the design stage of our tables and chairs – and have our key products tested for ergonomic quality by the Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V.
The certificate is awarded by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V. It identifies products that can demonstrably contribute to ergonomic and back-friendly benefits.
To this end, an independent panel of experts assesses, according to defined criteria, whether the product under review meets ergonomic requirements and can be used effectively from a medical perspective.
Only products that successfully pass this testing procedure are permitted to bear the AGR seal of approval. Furthermore, the award is not a one-off endorsement but is tied to defined requirements and processes.
This makes the seal an important quality indicator for anyone who selects furniture not only on the basis of design and cost-effectiveness, but also with regard to health considerations.
In schools, well-designed, ergonomic furniture promotes active and comfortable sitting throughout the day. In offices, it helps to make workspaces healthier and more user-friendly.
The following applies to both areas: furniture works particularly well when it puts people at the centre – with solutions that combine usability, posture, movement and suitability for everyday use. The AGR seal of approval offers helpful guidance in this regard.
We offer a selection of furniture for educational and office environments that has been awarded the AGR seal of approval. These pieces combine ergonomic quality with durable variants, stylish design and suitability for daily professional use.
