We will continue talking about TME...
We conclude today this week that we have dedicated to the European Week for Safety and Health at Work, contributing to the campaign:
belonging to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, EU-OSHA. But we do not stop here, since the campaign will continue during 2022 and we will continue on a monthly basis bringing to this prevention portal of ours some news, document, infographic, etc... related to avoiding overexertion at work. If you want to find all the news related to this topic, you only have to filter the news by ergonomics and then you will find them all in one click.
We bring an example from our guide of good practices for the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, prepared in collaboration with Prevencontrol.
Good practices in the office:
Working in offices implies spending prolonged periods without physical activity, which implies negative effects:
- Metabolism slows down by up to 90% after just two hours of inactivity.
- The muscles of the lower body are standing.
- Good cholesterol drops 20% after two hours of inactivity.
Performing routine exercises helps slow down the onset of MSDs or minimize their consequences.
That is, not only the ergonomics of the position have to do with avoiding overexertion, work planning and the willpower of the worker, who is forced to take breaks and move to avoid the aforementioned pains. Let's make an effort. Below, we give a visual example of stretches that we can do in the office, it will not take us much time but it will save us future pain:
Simply, to conclude, we remember that work planning, breaks and task rotation are actions that we can carry out to avoid MSDs, at Fraternidad-Muprespa we have workshops, overexertion courses, good practice guides, available to our associated companies that will help you in the laborious task of bringing prevention into your day. day.
Count on us, your Mutual Fund!
