NEW ERGONOMIC WORKSTATION WITH MOVEMENT ASSISTANCE FOR HAIRDRESSERS

Abstract

The new ergonomic workstation for hairdressers allows them to work comfortably seated, standing, or with their knees slightly bent, thus avoiding potentially hazardous positions for the musculoskeletal system. It features a height-adjustable bicycle saddle-style seat attached to a backrest with armrests and a swiveling element surrounding the base of the client's seat, allowing the hairdresser to reach different work areas. The height of the entire seat and backrest is adjusted using a lifting system, such as a gas piston that extends into its natural position, reducing postural strain on the hairdresser. This system is activated when the hairdresser presses down on the backrest without using their hands. It has at least one rolling base to enhance the stability of the structure. It is intended for the industrial sector specializing in the construction of chairs and workstations.
