Abstract

Office workers have to work by sitting in a static posture every day for a long period of time, which can reach up to twelve hours in one day. This situation causes pain to the body, so this design aims to produce an ergonomic workstation design that conforms with the anthropometry of each user to support the user’s posture and body health. The design concept prioritizes health, comfort, security, and safety of the user. Therefore, the workstation is made adjustable so that the table height can be adjusted according to the user’s anthropometry and allowing dynamic posture. Foot rest to supports body posture, and partition to follows the health protocol are also added to design. The curved table’s shape that surrounds the user creates smoother work flow. The curved table corners also support the safety of its users. The configuration of the workstation layout can be changed to create a dynamic environment, so the table legs are installed with wheels for easy displacement.
