Lateral File Cabinets — Expert Answer
What ergonomic considerations apply when using lateral file cabinets frequently?
If you access lateral file cabinets frequently throughout the day, position them within arm's reach to avoid repeated twisting of the spine — ideally within 18" of your seated position. Bottom drawers require bending or squatting; files you access most often should be at waist-to-shoulder height (drawers 2 and 3 on a 4-drawer unit). Use proper lifting technique for heavy hanging file loads and never open more than one drawer at a time on an unstacked cabinet.
