People can suffer fatigue, backache, headache, neckache and more due to poor workstation set up. We have put together a document outlining 'How to set up a workstation' and we encourage you to download and share amongst your colleagues and peers so everyone can use the tools for a healthier, happier workstation.
Here's some ergonomic ideas to start you off:
- Keep in a neutral position with elbows, forearms and wrists in a straight line.
- Keep your chin tucked towards the chest and aligned with the spine rather than poking forward or upwards.
- Interrupt sitting position by getting up and walking or stretching. Take mini-breaks.
- Alternate between different positions: sitting, standing, sitting on a gym ball.
- Organise equipment and supplies to the most efficient arrangement for daily tasks.
