Oh Boy! What safety topic can we cover this month! Pains in the - well, you know.
Painful working conditions • Do you have a pain in your neck (no I am not referring to kids, boss or the traffic)? • Are you doing your job in a proper ergonomic way? • Have you taken the time to look at how you are doing your job? • Have you contacted HR to get ergonomic tips, training and techniques?
Ergonomics • Watch your posture. • Don't crane your head and shoulders forward. • Use a keyboard wrist rest properly. • Drink plenty of water regularly. • Don’t rest your phone on your shoulder while typing.
Reduce Stress! • Take a break every hour. Relax, stretch, or talk with someone. • Massage your hands, forearms, and the muscles in your neck. • Evaluate your environment for ways to reduce stress. • Learn to change your reactions to unavoidable stress.
Don't Forget The Sunscreen • (Thanks to Nora A. for sharing)
Exercises • Squeeze a soft ball. • Stretch and curl your fingers. • Drop your hands to your sides and shake them gently. • Breathe deeply, exhale slowly. Yawn. • Stretch your neck. • Rest your eyes.
