Posture is at the centre of almost every ergonomic programme that targets physical activities.
Keeping work items within easy reach, holding objects close to your body and trying to avoid twisting and bending are some ways that can help you to maintain correct posture, which will help to reduce any possible discomfort.
Anachem’s latest Good Pipetting Posture poster displays the right and wrong ways to sit or stand when pipetting, helping lab users relieve any pain caused when pipetting for long periods of time.
Taking frequent breaks every 20 or 30 minutes to stretch your shoulders, arms and hands can also help to reduce the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI) caused by the repetition of pipetting.
Anachem’s poster shows diagrams with instructions of the different ways you can stretch to ensure that you shake off any stiffness that accumulates after long hours at the bench.
