When sitting at your workstation, your hips should be positioned slightly higher or level with your knees, creating a hip angle between 90 and 110 degrees. Your hips should be pushed back as far as possible in the chair to ensure good support from the backrest. Your feet should rest flat on the floor or a footrest, with thighs fully supported by the chair seat.

Key Points on Hip Position at Workstation

• Hips should be at or slightly higher than the knees to promote a natural spine curve and reduce pressure on the thighs.
• Sit with hips pushed back fully into the chair to ensure lower back support.
• A hip angle of approximately 90 to 110 degrees helps maintain comfort and proper posture.
• Feet flat on the floor or supported by a footrest to enable thighs to be parallel or slightly angled.
• Adjust seat height and chair backrest to keep knees level with or slightly lower than hips and maintain back support.

These ergonomic principles help prevent strain in the lower back, hips, and legs during prolonged sitting at workstations.
