Chair Adjustment Training for Your Team
Many businesses invest in high-quality ergonomic chairs, then never train anyone on the adjustments, so the chair is only ever used to a fraction of its capability. Seat height, lumbar position and armrest adjustment all need to be set correctly for the person sitting in it, and most people have never been shown how. Healthcare and public sector employers ask for this training as part of their duty-of-care obligations, though any office bringing on new starters can benefit from it too.
What the training covers
Chair adjustment training is a short, practical session for your staff, covering the adjustments that matter most day to day. Adjustment mechanisms vary from model to model, so training is specific to the actual chairs your team sits in rather than a generic walkthrough.
- Seat height and depth: so knees and hips sit correctly.
- Lumbar support: positioned to match the individual's lower back.
- Armrest height and width: set to avoid shoulder strain.
Why this matters even with the right chair
A correctly specified ergonomic chair left on factory settings can still leave someone slouching or straining by mid-afternoon. Training staff to make these adjustments themselves changes that. The benefit of the chair no longer depends on someone else setting it up once and never again.
A natural follow-on from an assessmentWhere a DSE or workplace ergonomic assessment flags a chair that isn't being used correctly, adjustment training is often the practical fix rather than a chair swap.
How HuntOffice can help
This training is delivered by the same team that assesses and supplies ergonomic seating. Because mechanisms differ between models, we train your staff on the actual adjustments of the chairs your business already has, not generic guidance for a chair you don't own.
