Office Ergonomics & Sedentary Risk Management
Office work can place repeated demands on the body through prolonged sitting, screen use, and workstations that do not fit the task or the person. Because these conditions develop gradually and become part of the routine, employees may overlook how their desk arrangement, equipment placement, and working habits affect comfort and ease of movement. Greater awareness helps teams recognise concerns earlier and discuss practical improvements to their working environment.
This programme helps participants examine the relationship between their workstation, daily tasks, and patterns of movement. Through practical observations and guided discussion, participants explore workstation considerations, recognise habits associated with prolonged sitting and repetitive work, and consider adjustments through their organisation's established processes. They also learn to describe concerns clearly and identify when additional assessment or support is needed. The emphasis is on building awareness and practical working habits that support a more comfortable, adaptable office environment.
