The layout of offices at the time of Covid

In December 2021, a new standard that provides criteria and examples for the layout of furniture, to ensure the physical distancing of operators was published.

The standard complements the previous UNI 11534:2014 on the arrangement of office furniture according to ergonomic criteria, with considerations and suggestions that take into account the needs of social distancing imposed by the diffusion of epidemics and pandemics.

The document provides guidelines on how to arrange the furniture used in the workstations and in other environments of an office, with the aim of maintaining the distance of at least one meter between people.
Set that goal, the standard suggests various layout solutions that can be implemented immediately, using existing furniture as much as possible, with minimal changes in their arrangement and limited additions of components such as protective screens and partition screens.

We are always available for any further information.
