Hi
Look up for information for fatigue from static standing....likelihood is they may need antifatigue matting, postural microbreaks etc to counteract. Also some of the reporting will be amplified by dissatisfaction about the role change particularly if they feel it was done to them so to speak so management should be wary of sending message of 'put up and shut up'.

I'm sure I've got some info somewhere relating so standing jobs, will try to dig out links for you tomorrow

Hi all
Can anyone advise please, recently new flt trucks have Bern brought on site, the drivers are now required to operate these for the duration of there shift standing. They did used to operate the sitting flt trucks, so now there had been an influx of complaints stating they are now suffering for back / leg pain, manual handling movements are now affected etc. Some are even refusing to operate them completley.

I have arranged a meeting with health and safety, the physio and management team to discuss, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Adel
