A sedentary lifestyle at work poses a major health challenge for employees in a variety of sectors. Long hours spent sitting can have serious consequences for health, such as increasing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, pain and cardiovascular problems, and can even affect mental well-being. Yet simple measures and the adoption of adapted equipment can greatly improve workers' daily lives.

Practical advice

1. Adopt a dynamic ergonomic posture: Opt for an ergonomic chair that adequately supports your posture while allowing you to move freely. Dynamic sitting improves blood circulation and reduces pressure on certain parts of the body.
2. Take breaks every two hours to vary your working posture, alternating between sitting and standing. This stimulates circulation and prevents immobility-related pain.
3. Incorporate exercise and stretching: Incorporate simple exercises and stretching into your routine to keep your body active and flexible, helping to loosen muscles and improve mobility.
4. Invest in active furniture: Choose furniture designed to encourage physical activity, such as sit-stand desks, dynamic stools, office bikes or ball chairs. This equipment encourages movement and helps reduce sedentary lifestyles.

The circular economy has become a fundamental pillar of public policy. Its aim is to minimize our ecological footprint and promote a more sustainable consumption model. In this respect, the decree implementing article 58 of the AGEC law (Anti-Gaspillage pour une Économie Circulaire) marks a crucial step in French regulations. The result of a process involving assessments, surveys and public consultations, it introduces concrete measures to encourage the acquisition of reused and recycled products by public entities.

Key points of the new decree

The new decree introduces several key provisions:

Acquisition targets

From 2024, the State, local authorities and their groupings will be required to purchase a minimum of 20% reused furniture and 15% including recycled material. The aim of this measure is to stimulate the use of circular products and boost the reuse and upcycling economy.

Simplifying the system

The decree aims to simplify the current system to make it clearer and more effective, which should make it easier for public entities to apply and promote greater understanding of circular purchasing requirements.

Progressive obligations

The text introduces obligations staggered over time, giving public entities the opportunity to adapt gradually to the new standards. This gradual approach should help the transition to more sustainable purchasing practices.

Broadening the types of products concerned

In addition to furniture, the decree extends its obligations to new types of products, broadening the scope for sustainable purchasing. This covers a wider range of goods and supports the transition to a more circular economy.

The value of donations for public-sector buyers

A noteworthy innovation is the possibility for public purchasers to value donations in achieving their objectives. This measure encourages the re-use of products and supports solidarity initiatives. This encourages the assistance of charitable organizations and social economy structures.

Lhe commitment of our Manufacture des Cévennes

As an entity wishing to meet the objectives of the AGEC law and promote responsible purchasing. Our Manufacture des Cévennes offers a wide range of recycled items. We are committed to offering sustainable solutions, through :

• Second-hand seats collected locally and reconditioned in our Cévennes workshops.

Adapting a workstation may involve making material adjustments, modifying the tools used, or even reorganizing the workspace. The aim is to enable every employee to work efficiently and safely, while preserving their physical and mental health.

Employer's obligations

French legislation requires employers to take all necessary measures to ensure the health, safety and continued employment of their employees, including the implementation of specific accommodations when required. This legal responsibility aims to create a work environment that is adapted to each individual, thus promoting inclusion and productivity.

Decreased productivity, eye strain, chronic migraines, all these ailments can be caused by poor lighting at your workstation. In order to fight these serious pathologies, the professional space must offer an ergonomic, healthy and safe lighting arrangement for the employees. Synonymous with well-being, good lighting influences the performance of our activities, our performance and our motivation. It is therefore essential for a serene and efficient work and should not be neglected.

Regulated or not by the directives of the Labour Code, professional environments such as theOpen Space or the Home Office remain very vulnerable to the problems of luminosity. It is therefore necessary to inform yourself about the different recommendations in order to imagine a luminous environment that is conducive to concentration and good mood, respectful of your health.  

Standards and the importance of brightness

Few people know it, but there are specific standards for lighting in the workplace. Adequate lighting is not simply a matter of personal preference; it has a direct impact on the performance of our professional activities and on our motivation. Whether you work in a traditional office or telecommute, ensuring good lighting is essential for a serene and efficient working environment.

Basic principles for optimal lighting

Take into account the nature of the activities carried out

Before any installation it is advisable to define the technical characteristics of your environment as well as your precise needs in terms of lighting. Indeed, each activity requires a different level of lighting, as specified in article R4223 of the French Labour Code : " The level of lighting must be adapted to the nature and precision of the work to be carried out ". However, there is universal advice applicable to all trades.

Diversify lighting sources to protect your health

The diversification of light sources is for example a recommendation that is now strongly encouraged. The lighting must be intense enough to prevent visual disorders while avoiding overexposure. For office tasks, the recommended ergonomic light intensity is generally around 500 Lux. 

To begin, make sure you create a uniform light base. The use of a ceiling or pendant light will ensure that the ambient light is of a constant intensity. This primary source will create a general atmosphere that is soothing, conducive to work and less likely to cause eye strain. It will protect you from the uncertain fluctuations of daylight and limit the high contrasts caused by the use of other more powerful sources. For more softness, avoid neon or spotlights, direct light too aggressive.

Adjustable lighting solutions for greater visual comfort

After the quantity, it is now time to think about the quality of your lighting. To work in the best possible conditions, turn to reliable and competent lighting equipment.

Selection criteria to consider

One of the key points of the finalization of your ergonomic installation will be the possibility of personalizing your accessories. For example, you will need a chameleon lamp capable of adapting to all your specific requirements (e.g.: right or left handed). For more comfort and efficiency, an adjustable light source is to be preferred. Easy to use, it has healthy and practical features, particularly appreciable in professional spaces.

For example, you can choose a desk lamp with a tilting head or a luminaire with an articulated arm. These direct the light beam precisely where you need it, ensuring that your workstation is perfectly illuminated. Some models offer even more specific adjustments. For example, it is now possible to modulate the lighting temperature of your lamp. Very practical, this will allow you to adapt the brightness by taking into account the time of day, the weather and even your sensory preferences. The color of this light will be ideally close to that of natural lighting and will therefore be between 2500 and 4000 Kelvin. Thanks to these innovative lamps, significantly increase your visual comfort, your concentration and your productivity.

For mobile workstations or those with space constraints, there are clever solutions. String lights, clip-on lights and other battery operated lights are flexible and efficient accessories. They will illuminate you properly while remaining easily transportable.  

Opt for energy-efficient lighting

During your lighting design process, you will need to choose a bulb that meets your expectations and your means. Incandescent halogen or low consumption, you have the embarrassment of the choice.

In view of the current context, it is essential to choose a low energy lamp that is kind to our planet but also to your wallet. In the office, 15 watts are more than enough to guarantee sufficient luminosity. For your visual safety and for energy efficiency, choose low-energy lamps and LED lamps (white light). Highly resistant, they will illuminate you for very long hours. If you need a more powerful light, turn to halogen bulbs, which are less environmentally friendly but give off a more intense light.

Beware of the brightness of your screens!

To finalize your luminous environment perfectly, you must now worry about the harms generated by your screens. Indeed, the blue light emitted by them accelerates visual degradation, chronic fatigue and significantly develops insomnia. To fight these harmful impacts on health, it is imperative to protect your eyes.

For this, there are very simple solutions: Add an additional light source to your desk and black out windows to avoid glare. Lower the brightness and contrast of your screens to preserve your vision. Get a PC arm and sit at a reasonable distance from your computer for a healthier work posture. Finally, in addition to all these tips, you can invest in a pair of protective glasses. These offer a special treatment, blue light filter and anti-glare for optimal safety.

To reduce the shadows created by general lighting, you can alsoadd desk lamps. To be more precise, try these accent lighting for sufficient brightness that's easy on the eyes. They can be installed in pairs to provide both direct and indirect illumination. Reading lights, mobile lamps and floor lamps are ideal solutions for this type of consumption.

On December 27, 2023, an important decision was handed down by the Gard Prefecture: SARL ErgoSanté Production, located at 28 ZA de Labahou - 30140 Anduze, obtained approval as an "Entreprise Solidaire d'Utilité Sociale" (ESUS). This decision, governed by the French Labor Code and the Law on the Social and Solidarity Economy, opens up new prospects for this committed company.

The legal framework for ESUS accreditation

The decision, bearing the number 30-2023-12-27-00006, is based on several legal texts, including the Labor Code (articles L.3332-17-1 and R.3332-21-1 to 5), Law no. 2014-856 of July 31, 2014 on the Social and Solidarity Economy, and Law no. 2019-486 of May 22, 2019 on business growth and transformation.

The order of August 5, 2015, defining the composition of the application file for "social utility solidarity enterprise" approval, as well as other texts, help to frame this approach.

A rigorous process: from the prefect's appointment to the sub-delegation of signature

Obtaining this approval followed a rigorous process. The appointment of Mr. Jérôme Bonet as Prefect of the Gard by presidential decree on July 13, 2023 marked the beginning of this stage.

SARL ErgoSanté Production submitted its application for approval on November 23, 2023, demonstrating its compliance with the requirements of article L.3332-17-1-1 of the French Labor Code.

The decision: solid recognition

The approval decision, published in the Recueil des actes administratifs of the Gard prefecture, emphasizes that SARL ERGOSANTE PRODUCTION meets all the guarantees required by law. This recognition, based on compliance with legal criteria, offers the company significant advantages in terms of solidarity and social utility.

The approval is valid for five years from the date of notification of the decision. This gives ErgoSanté a stable period in which to consolidate and develop its activities.

In the event of dispute, the appointment may be the subject of an administrative appeal to the Prefect of the Gard on the basis of :

• An appeal to the Secretary of State for theSocial Economy,
• A contentious appeal to the Administrative Court of Nîmes.

Last month, ErgoSanté and La Poste Groupe joined forces to organize an "Ergonomic Encounter" in Aix-en-Provence. The aim was to highlight ErgoSanté's innovative solutions. The event enabled participants to discover and try out these solutions, generating unanimously positive feedback.

Edifying testimony

During the speeches, a user who had tested our exoskeletons shared her experience. She emphasized their effectiveness and usefulness in her working life. She said she felt less tired, and even expressed a desire to take an exoskeleton home with her at the end of the day.

Local and sustainable products

Our products, made entirely in France, are environmentally friendly. They are produced by an adapted company, and incorporate a circular economy dimension, which particularly appealed to our guests.

A varied and committed audience

Some twenty participants attended the meeting. They included occupational physicians, nurses, prevention professionals, prescribers and human resources managers.

Personalized ergonomic meeting

Whether you work for a company or are self-employed, ErgoSanté is ready to organize an ergonomic meeting tailored to your needs. Our agencies, located throughout France, are at your disposal to meet all your needs.

In an exemplary move in favor of the environment, the young students of the Alès Municipal Youth Council have embarked on an initiative that deserves to be celebrated. A few months ago, we told you about their initiative to collect over a hundred kilos of plastic corks. These were then donated to ErgoSanté. But that was just the beginning of an even more inspiring story.

Transforming corks into benches

Today, we're delighted to announce that these plastic corks have been given a second life. Thanks to the work of our team in our Cévennes workshop, these corks have been transformed into a magnificent bench. The bench was inaugurated yesterday evening in the Square Lieutenant-Colonel Beltrame in Alès. The Mayor, Max Roustan, the President of Alès Agglomération, Christophe Rivenq, and local councillor, Léa Boyer, joined these young visionaries in their ecological undertaking.

An inspiring example of commitment

This project by the young people of Alès is an inspiring example of commitment to the environment and a more sustainable future. It reminds us that each and every one of us can play a key role in preserving resources. No matter what our age.

If you too would like to take part in our recycling and revalorization initiatives, please contact us. We'd be delighted to help you contribute to a circular world.
