Hag Chairs

Hag chairs are now one of a few manufacturers supplying chairs that fully comply with the current EU legislation EN1335. But what does this mean for you?

European Legislation EN1335 details that for movement of the chairs on different types of flooring there has to be a certain resistance to movement which can differ on different types of flooring. To achieve this with Health and Safety in mind castors on all Hag chairs will be braked when people get up from chairs. Cases have been detailed where people have got up from the seated position and have accidentally pushed the chairs away from them and when re-sitting have fallen and injured themselves.

Back Problems: The facts

13 million working days are lost every year to companies in the UK due to back problems.

Back pain costs the UK nearly £4 billion every year in lost production, treatment and benefits.

Mori poll carried out for the country’s largest union. Unison reports 4 out of 5 workers suffer back disorders and 25 % take time off work as a result.

Back related disorders cost the NHS £480 million per annum.

Poor posture is a major cause of back trouble and poor seating leads to poor posture so it is proven that purchasing the cheapest seating is a false economy.

Spinal problems can take years to develop, from school days to working days, a major part of our lives are spent sitting down so it is no wonder if that time is spent sat on incorrect seating we develop back problems.
