Solving employee turnover intentions

Firstly, there are certain basic ergonomic guidelines that may help an employee avoid back pain or back injury:

Secondly, develop a job description based on the forces present in a particular work environment, the time spent performing the task and the biomechanics (which define human motions and seated posture in an office chair) used in the task.

Use body posture as a tool that can be changed to meet the job demands with minimum stress on the muscles, ligaments, bones and joints.

Further, learn and use appropriate body mechanics to limit extra mechanical stress in completing the task.

Finally, maintain fitness and flexibility and develop a reserve of strength.

Identifying Poor Posture and Risks

Many potentially harmful situations that lead to back injury can be identified and avoided by following four basic rules of thumb:

Prolonged static posture is the enemy. The healthy body can only tolerate staying in one position for about 20 minutes. That is why sitting on an airplane, at a desk in an office chair. Or at a movie theatre becomes uncomfortable after a short time. Standing in one place, such as standing on a concrete floor at an assembly line for extended periods of time tends to cause back pain. Holding the same position slowly diminishes elasticity in the soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the back). Then, stress builds up and causes back discomfort and/or leg discomfort.
