Hygienic problem of providing university students with educational furniture

Abstract

The primary task of state policy is to preserve and improve the health of young people, which requires compliance with the hygienic regulations of the educational process and the educational environment, including educational furniture. The present study substantiates hygienic recommendations for the selection of educational furniture at the university, taking into account the sexual structure of students. 75 % of girls and 25 % of boys study at Omsk State Medical University. To ensure the correct working position, two thirds (65 %) of students need furniture No. 5, 20 % of students need furniture No. 6, 11 % need furniture No. 4, and 4 % of students taller than 185 cm need furniture No. 7. Thus, the inclusion of furniture No. 7 in the regulations of sanitary rules is required. The results of the conducted research can provide significant assistance to the university administration in purchasing educational furniture.
