We have known for a long time the benefits of sitting in an RH chair. Active sitting improves blood and oxygen flow which increases alertness and performance. We recently carried out a series of workplace studies monitoring in real work environments the effect sitting in an RH chair has on employee performance.
What we found was that performance increased dramatically when users were educated and used chairs correctly. The studies with our findings have just been published. To get your copy just email RH Chairs.
While RH chairs are well known for their ability to help increase individual performance due to their ergonomic design, now the opportunity exists to make a real claim for the style conscious performer.
So now not only can you feel great, you can also look great.

EVAC+CHAIR North America, LLC, maker of the original, and lightest, evacuation chair on the market, today announced the company has donated its evacuation chairs to the British Columbia Ambulance Service for use by the Emergency Management Team based in Vancouver, host city of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The EVAC+CHAIR is designed to be used in a building evacuation situation for anyone who is incapacitated, or becomes incapacitated, and cannot evacuate quickly enough on their own. EVAC+CHAIR allows injured or mobility impaired persons to be placed into the chair and evacuated down stairs quickly and safely.
EVAC+CHAIR evacuation chairs greatly enhance safety in all evacuation situations as they allow sick, injured or disabled persons nearly immediate evacuation options in emergency situations where seconds count. They are especially important in large sporting venues where emergency responders will have a difficult time locating and reaching incapacitated individuals. As EVAC+CHAIR North America, LLC is the maker of the lightest chair on the market and is designed for simple one person operation, there is less need to find an assistant with sufficient strength to operate the chair. What’s more, EVAC+CHAIR is so intuitive to operate that little training is required.
“We are thrilled to donate the EVAC+CHAIR to the British Columbia Ambulance Service for use in Vancouver, host city of the 2010 Winter Olympics,” said Richard Perl, Vice President of Business Development for EVAC+CHAIR North America. “Our hope is that the chair never has to be used, but if the need arises we are proud that Vancouver, the host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, will have access to the best evacuation chair on the market, EVAC+CHAIR.”
About EVAC+CHAIR North America, LLC
Developed in New York City in 1982, EVAC+CHAIR is the global industry standard for lightweight, portable evacuation chairs. Today the company sells internationally to hotels, hospitals, office buildings, schools, assisted living facilities, and residential and commercial high-rise buildings—any multi-story building where any tenant or occupant who needs help for any reason can get down the stairs to safety. Its narrow profile allows first responders and other building occupants to ascend or descend staircases during an emergency without interference, and its unique design allows most able-bodied users to assist anyone with mobility impairments or other conditions in need of help with relative ease.
RH Chairs are constantly striving to increase the performance of our chairs while decreasing the effect on our environment. We were one of the first seating manufacturers to achieve EPD certification for our products which takes us to ISO 14025-one of the highest levels of “environmental friendliness” available.
RH have now taken this one step further. We have reduced the CO2 emissions created in the production of RH Extend and Logic 400 by over 30% in the last year. This means that these products are even more environmentally friendly. Couple that with our 10 year warranty and replaceable seat & back pads and you truly have a chair that you can promote as a sustainable, environmentally friendly, long term investment.

Commenting on the award, UK Managing Director Jorgen Josefsson said: ‘We’re obviously delighted to make history in this way. What is especially pleasing for us is to be recognised by FIRA who themselves uphold the very highest commitment to ergonomic excellence.’
