Do's & Don'ts in the Workplace

Don’t:

• Slump-sit (your low back should be supported).
• Lean forward and downward to reach for or look at your work.
• Sit for long periods of time without getting up.

Do:

• Sit close to your work.
• Sit in a chair that is low enough to place both your feet on the floor and no lower.
• Have a chair that supports your back in a slightly arched position.
• Maintain good sitting posture while driving. This frequently requires a small pillow against your lower back.
• While driving, sit close enough to reach the pedals and wheel without slump-sitting.
