Posted By Bryn Maidment There is no reason why such a workstation should not meet the DSE Regs. High chairs are not ideal but as long as they have the lumbar support (such chairs are available!), an adjustable foot ring and no arm rests they should be OK. Castors should not be used because as well as moving across lino , tiles etc. they can make the chairs unstable. Staff must learn to get them in the right position before climbing aboard and then swiveling the seat to face the PC. The rest of the workstation should be the same as any other. Incidentally a big problem with counters etc. is the lack of depth and a subsequent lack of space for keyboard, hands etc. One of those sliding keyboard thingies that fits under the desk works very well. Just fitted about 12 in Pharmacy and Pathology = many happy staff. Ideally don't have the high benches, chairs etc. but with changing practice and ingenuity they will work fine. NB - not good where staff have to constantly move around the office - some workers were climbing the equivalent of a large Welsh hill every day!!
