Although extremely rare, office chair explosions can occur due to faulty gas lift mechanisms or low-quality components of the office chair, particularly in office chairs with pneumatic height adjustment systems. To avoid such incidents, here are several steps to ensure safety:
High-Quality Office Chairs
- Reputable Brands: Always buy office chairs from well-known manufacturers known for producing durable and safe products to avoid office chair explosions.
- Certified Safety Standards: Look for office chairs that meet international safety certifications such as BIFMA (Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association) or ISO standards.
At SIF, we take pride in offering office chairs that meet the highest safety and quality standards. The gas cylinders in our office chairs are all backed by the authoritative BIFMA (Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer’s Association) certification and ISO standards certificate.
Inspect the Gas Cylinder/gas lift of Office Chairs
- High-Quality Gas Cylinders/Gas Lift: Ensure the office chair has a high-quality gas lift cylinder, preferably from a trusted manufacturer.
- Capacity: The gas cylinder in our office chair is designed to handle the user’s weight. Overloading the office chair can increase the risk of malfunction.
Proper Maintenance of The Office Chair
- Check for Damage: Regularly inspect the office chair’s components, particularly the gas lift mechanism, for signs of wear, rust, or damage.
- Replace Worn Parts: If you notice any issues with the gas cylinder or other parts, replace them immediately to avoid further risks.
Use the Office Chair Properly
- Weight Limits: Avoid exceeding the office chair’s maximum weight capacity.
- Smooth Adjustment: Don’t forcefully adjust the height of the office chair. If the gas lift seems jammed or resistant, stop using the chair and have it checked.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Don’t expose the office chair to extreme heat or cold, as this can affect the integrity of the gas cylinder.
Regular Professional Servicing of Office Chair's
- Have the office chair serviced by professionals, especially if it’s frequently used in an office setting or shared among multiple users.
