Workplace Health and Safety
In an office this can be as simple as:
1
Providing supportive seating if your employees sit during their job.
2
Providing stand up desks or desks that you can sit or stand at to limit the amount of sitting that your employees do.
3
Ensuring that your employees are able to get up from their desk every hour so that they do not develop pain from accumulative stresses that can occur when maintaining one posture for too long.
4
Getting a physio to give some gentle stretches and exercises that each employee can do to ensure their body is ready for their job.
5
Having an area where your employees can perform their exercises during the day and making sure that they have the time to do this.
All of these strategies may help to not only improve your employees performance but can help to avoid compensation claims from injury.
1
Ensuring that there is a weight limit that workers lift.
2
Teach correct lifting along with back care education, preferably by a physio as they are the movement experts.
3
Ensuring that workers get a variety of tasks to perform, so not all lifting or not all forklift driving.
4
Ensuring your workers get enough time to rest, recuperate and perform some gentle stretches and exercises during the day that will help them to get through their working day.
5
Providing a space where workers can wind down or perform their exercises during the day.
6
Giving the workers access to information on a regular basis that will help to keep them constantly educated with regards to how to maintain a strong and healthy body.
