How do I stand as a contractor on getting a new chair for H&S reasons?

Just stand up for 3 days - you'll be fine.

Makes me laugh the naff chairs some companies buy; half of them you need to stand up every half hour. My personal favourites are the ones with like a mesh back instead of solid plastic. I'm sure it does make a difference in the long run.

I said the same thing when I spec'ed the winter pack for my Gallardo, which is essentially heated seats an' a cigarette lighter.

A fancy chair is all very well, but what will it do to the office feng shui?

As a freelance it's quite good value if you consider your back going for a few days and being unable to sit upright and not being able to even open your email because of the pain.

Pays for itself in a day.

Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to take an unexpected week or two off work

In actual fact, I often sit in my posturite chair simply to relieve any pressure I feel in my lower back it's that good. But not as good as the lovely massaging hands of Kathy...

alright,
have a word with your boss and tell him about the
back problem and ask him if he wouldn't mind if
you bring your OWN special back supporting chair

Good advice, unless you consider moaning to your manager at every contract you get...

remember if you get you own chair it'll be one that suites you that you can take from contract to contract...

i remember i took my own chair in when I was working at Nokia and it was much more comfy than the standard company tulip

xodia: I've worked Nokia at Cambridge, Espoo, and Chengdu (amongst others). Absolutely, a metal spike to sit on would be more comfortable.
