Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a rest device that allows the whole body to relax and recover from fatigue.

[Background technology] Today, our environment is rapidly changing into an extremely complex environment, including the progress of an aging society, cutting-edge technological innovation, and the progress of an OA information society. As the social environment becomes more complex and sophisticated, the increasing mental stress surrounding modern people and the management of their mental and physical health are attracting attention as major social issues.In particular, mental stress and techno-stress problems in the business society, etc. In response, government agencies such as the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, as well as labor unions such as Sohyo, are beginning to take serious measures.

Under these circumstances, VDT (Visual D
isplayTerminals) When engaged in work, it was indicated as an industrial health guideline that there should be downtime during work to prevent fatigue due to strain on the eyes, hand and arm systems, etc. (December 20, 1985, Ministry of Labor) In some cases, the Bureau of Labor Standards Bureau has set up a rest room in the department where workers can sit on chairs and take a rest.
In most cases, the response is passive, such as instructing employees to quit their jobs and move on to other jobs. In addition, although some companies are promoting workplace exercises and fatigue recovery exercises, they are often not implemented or the space is not available.

In addition to VDT work, we also provide design, planning, sales, management,
In non-field work departments such as general affairs, when various types of stress accumulate, time and space are needed to relieve them, but in reality, such opportunities are rarely available.
