Hi All Just need some advise. I work on a call centre training new members of staff which means me being on my feet almost allday and walking round answering questions and helping the staff. I know there are risks to long periods of standing but what are these? I had a risk assessment done today where i expressed my concerns and they are going to get back to me about it. Thanks
Hi Jo Jo, I found this on the internet http://www.askdrsears.com/html/1/T011307.asp hope it helps, point 6 tells you about standing for too long. Love Sarah xxx
being a nurse i run around all day like a headless chicken... lol i was allowed to sit every hour for 5mins. i was due to work until 37 weeks but dropped off at 29 coz of spd
My feet and ankles have totally swollen up over the last couple of days, cant wear shoes!! but as i work in an office, have been told to make sure i walk around for a bit every hour and keep my feet moving all the time when im sitting, Madness your not meant to sit or stand for to long, up and down like a bloddy yo yo !!!
Lol i know the feeling well!!! luckily thw last ward i was on were really nice and kept telling me to sit down and have a cup of tea every half hour!! lol "oh ok if i have to" !!! mind you that was in the height of summer so felt like i was going to collapse most days!! wanted to go work in a bikina instead of uniform!!!! ha ha hmmmm dont know what the patients would think of that!!
