Tips to remember when you stand:

Posted by admin on August 11th, 2010

Tips to remember when you stand:

1. Always stand with your body weight equally distributed between your legs.When one leg carries more weight, our necks and backs curve and in the long run this position may cause injury.

2. Avoid standing for a long period of time with your feet on different levels.Standing with one foot on a step for a long period, causes the neck and shoulders to curve.

3. Stand with your legs slightly apart for better balance.In this position the body weight is more evenly spread and less effort is required to maintain the position.

4. Stand facing the work surface.Never work at the corner of a bench because it is difficult to get close to the job you have to do, causing you to bend forward, placing increased strain on the lower back.

5. Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes, with good foot support, suitable for the job that you have to do.For example, wear boots with good grip when you work in a wet environment, e.g. cold storage areas – and well-fitting, undamaged safety boots when you work on a construction site. Give attention to how you put on your shoes – instead of bending down to the floor; rather kneel on one knee to maintain a good posture. Take good care of your shoes and repair or replace them when they are damaged.

6. Stand on a cushioned surface if possible.

7. Elevate or incline the work surface for precision work.

8. Keep work up at a comfortable level.

9. Change positions frequently.

10. Vary your activities regularly.
