Bad Practice
This image shows an example of an unsafe work practice.
Description:
Awkward work position. Continuous pressure from a hard surface, remaining in the same position and/or kneeling can can result in pain and fatigue. Whenever possible try and find a neutral work posture. Slowly stretching before work and taking mini breaks(a few seconds) during the day to stretch, can help relieve some of the pain and fatigue. For further information refer to this link for construction ergonomic resources from the Laborers Health and Safety Fund Construction Ergonomics.
