School furniture: a health issue

Among adults, poor habits contribute to musculoskeletal disorders: back, neck and shoulder pain affects a large share of the population. These habits often start in childhood.

Today, children are still often given wooden chairs from a young age that hurt and don’t support the back. Their pain makes it harder to stay focused, and therefore to learn.

The supply of ergonomic school furniture isn’t abundant, but it exists, in France as in the rest of Europe. Selection criteria, however, often remain price and perceived sturdiness rather than ergonomics.

Olivier and his team help you define the furniture you need, and evaluate responses to tenders.

And if the budget is limited, they help you set up “ergonomic DIY” workshops to improve the comfort of chairs and tables. Children personalize their own equipment and learn to make do with limited resources while protecting their health.
