Switching to Standing Desks

Sit Stand Desk Systems
SEK Responds to...
Pilot Online: Why Officer Workers Across the Country are Switching to Standing Desks by Philip Walzer 
_____________________________________

If you have a desk job, then the discomforts of sitting for longs hours are no stranger to you. Back pain is regular and scheduling time to exercise becomes a necessity. Fortunately, we live in a day and age with some great ergonomic solutions.
The article, "Why Officer Workers Across the Country are Switching to Standing Desks" by Philip Walzer discusses the transition to standing workstations including the benefits, as well as a few flaws in the model Walzer tested. SEK Solutions offers a sit-stand work station that actually eliminates all of the mentioned flaws, like being unable to adjust monitor heights, while keeping all the same benefits. Intrigued? Ready to make the change to a customized work experience? We are too.

Due to being relatively new to our product roster this year, one of our team members, James Roark, was excited to test out our Winston Sit-Stand Workstation for a few months to validate the benefits. Like many of the users in the article, he found the transition to standing easy and was initially surprised by how often he finished his work day feeling great. He stands 90% of the time now and has no intention of going back to stationary desk work.

Benefits of the Winston Sit-Stand Workstation Include:

  • Reduced back pain. Less stress is forced on the lower lumbar region of the back when standing. Go home feeling great!
  • Adjustable height.  Sit or stand as much as you like since the height is flexible. The article mentioned that the model Walzer tried out could not modify the height of the monitor or keyboard when standing, which could make usage slightly uncomfortable. Although the model type was not actually revealed, we already know Walzer must not have used a Winston Workstation, a model with easily adjusted monitor and keyboard heights.
  • Maintaining good health. Excessive sitting is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions.
  • Staying alert. It’s easier to fight off that post-lunch crash when you are on your feet.

“For Fanto, it eliminates the need for a shot of caffeine, in the form of coffee or chocolate, in the afternoons. “It’s something that you don’t know the benefit until you do it,” she said.” 
-Excerpt from Walzer’s Article.

3 Tips to Setting up Armory Storage Systems

7/21/2015

 
1) Identify Your Weapon and Gear Storage Groups

      What weapons are being stored? Do you have optics or other gear that needs designated storage space as well? Do you prefer to have your cabinets hold only one type of weapon at a time? Do you want to keep your rifles in the same unit as your pistols? Or, perhaps you need individual lockers designed to hold a variety of weapon types? The best weapon locker configuration for your specific armory is driven greatly on what needs to be stored and how they need to be stored, so starting with a game plan centered on weapons and gear groupings makes the entire armory design process easier.

        Each SEKURE weapon storage rack has a universal back panel designed to facilitate standard or custom configurations by using a variety of components. The modular components, which includes shelves, barrel saddles, pistol pegs and more, will allow you to alternate between vertical and horizontal storage, different layouts, and even switch components between units easily. Because the components are designed to hold specific weapon types, you won’t have to worry about poor fit, unsecure weapons, or difficult weapon removal, which are issues often reported to us by end-users of the plastic, bungee-style, one-size-fits-all weapon storage components.

      With a starting game plan in place, our experienced armory design team will set you up with cabinets, racks, and lockers that perfectly fit all your weapons, and since all SEKURE weapon storage components are modular and easily reconfigured, your armory storage solution will always be adaptable to your future weapon storage challenges.


2) Visualize Access Requirements and the Overall Armory Layout

      When designing your armory, consider the overall layout and its effect on personnel safety and weapon security. Think about how armory access doors swing open. Are open racks behind a main locked entry door acceptable security, or are individual locking weapon enclosures required? Where are desks, tables and chairs located? Are there obstructions in the ceiling that may impact the placement or limit the height of weapon racks or cabinets? Visualizing these considerations in advance will improve the planning process and ensure surprises during installation are minimized.

      Our armory consultants have years of experience designing weapon storage solutions for the most discriminating customers. They understand the constraints of installing weapon racks and cabinets in enclosed spaces. They can also help you visualize your armory design using 3D software that will show exact placement of the planned weapon storage configuration in a virtual mockup of your spaces.


3) Consider Using High Density Mobile Aisle Systems to Gain Space

      If you find that the location you’ve designated for your armory is not large enough to handle the volume of weapons and gear you plan to store, consider using high density mobile aisle systems to increase space. These systems allow access to more lockers, racks, cabinets, and storage shelves in a smaller footprint. This is achieved by sliding storage racks along a track in the floor, where access is provided one aisle at a time. In many cases, the use of high density storage systems can deliver storage density increases of more than 50%.

SEK at the 7th Annual Tidewater Tactical Charity Golf Tournament

7/1/2015

 
Tidewater Tactical 7th Annual Golf Tournament
June 26, Friday Afternoon, Red Wing Lake Golf Course, Virginia Beach, VA.

       Friday morning and the skies threatened rain. Would SEK Solutions be able to compete in the Tidewater Tactical 7th Annual Charity Golf Tournament? Proceeds of the event went towards the charity Vigilant Watch, a non-profit which provides support to regional active duty and retired public safety officials and their immediate families, who have suffered financial and physical hardships based on injury, illness, or a catastrophic event.
      Around 1:00 pm the skies opened up and rain hit the grounds, the start time for the event. Grouped underneath the food pavilion, everyone waited to see if the shower would pass. A half hour goes by and the rain slows to drips off the tree branches allowing the teams to head to their golf carts. Moments later, the game begins.
      Some of SEK teamed up with partner Victor Forward while traveling the course, while other employees helped out at the booth Victor Forward sponsored at the popular sixteenth hole. Anyone could stop by for refreshments, food, freebies, and good company.
      At the end of the day, neither team won the competition, but a great afternoon out and meeting some other fantastic individuals in the industry made the 1-9 pm event a huge success, rain and all!
