Are you working on the road? Using a laptop? On the move? Using a mobile?
New technology now allows us the freedom to work almost wherever we need or choose to be. The flexibility remote working gives us, plus the ease of use of mobile devices means it can be easy to overlook our wellbeing when working remotely.
It’s easier to ignore what you can’t see, and remember if you are an employer, or are self-employed, you are still required to meet the Health and Safety standards under the Health and Safety in Employment Act (2002).
SitRight WorkWell can provide:
- Remote working audits and assessments
- Advice on correct ergonomic use of mobile devices
- Laptop use – where does this occur and for how long? It can often be in awkward spaces such as motel rooms, on a cramped desk space in another business or in the car. This can cause all sorts of neck, shoulder and arm problems.
- Cell phone/phone use – does your neck get sore? How safe are you when you are driving?
- Car seats – People who drive extensively often have back or hip pain. There is a solution!
