Office Ergonomics!
GPS challenge of the week…Office Ergonomics! Practicing good ergonomics can help you stay healthy whether you are in an office or in a warehouse.
Things to keep in mind in an office:
- Keep your body centered in front of your monitor and keyboard.
- Adjust your chair so your feet rest on the floor and your knees are level with your hips.
- Keep items you regularly use within arm’s length.
- Get up and stretch.
In a warehouse or industrial environment:
- Vary your tasks.
- Do not carry items that are too heavy.
- Select the right tool for the task at hand.
- Lift with your legs not your back.
- Stretch.
