Why should a business, purchase larger seating for overweight or clinically obese employees? Aside from the prerequisites of European Laws, employers must consider the potential of injury to an employee. On the off chance that the seating does not support the heavier individual, it is more liable to break and put that employee at danger and therefore the business could be the subject of litigation. If the seat does not support an overweight employee properly, it can result in decreased productivity and efficiency from the worker and in addition a potential increase in sick leave due to back problems or repetitive strain injury. If it can also be demonstrated that these sick days were required because of injury sustained at work, the employer might find they have to pay out wages while they are out of work and may face legal action.
Any employee who is classed as obese or seriously overweight should not be made to feel out of place in the workplace because of their weight. Breaking a chair, having to squash themselves into smaller seating can cause unnecessary embarrassment for an employee. Given the statistics regarding the number of overweight and obese people at present, it is necessary that every company assesses the suitability of chairs and workstations for all employees, including larger and overweight people.
