Posted By Dave Dowan Hi Same answer really "The work chair shall be stable and allow the operator easy freedom of movement and a comfortable position. The seat shall be adjustable in height. The seat back shall be adjustable in both height and tilt. A footrest shall be made available to anyone who wishes for one."
