COBA Europe has published a new updated version of its eBook – #StandUpForHealth.
Compiled by COBA’s team of safety matting experts, the 2019 version includes the latest research and information about work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). It also includes the results of COBA’s most recent ‘Standing at Work Survey’ and the effects standing-related ailments have had on absenteeism and productivity.
Also new is an informative ‘Expert Opinion’ from Krishna Gohill on behalf of The College of Podiatry. Krishna is a specialist podiatrist with a BSc (Hons) in Podiatry. Her feature discusses some of the common problems associated with prolonged standing while giving guidance about the importance of monitoring and maintaining foot health.
While providing practical advice for those whose occupations involve prolonged standing, #StandUpForHealth also highlights the health risks associated with sedentary professions and lifestyles. Workers in all professions are being encouraged to stand more, changing posture regularly. However, regular prolonged standing carries its own health risks, and the eBook makes recommendations on how to reduce the onset of conditions such as MSDs, foot and calf ailments and varicose veins.
