You can take some simple steps to reduce the chance of illness or injury.  Report Problems early so that something can be done to help you or to change the work process.  Warm Up before you start work and do simple stretches during the day.  Change your posture often, alternating between sitting and standing if you can. Avoid prolonged bending of your neck and back.  Lift with care - wherever possible, use trolleys or other aids to lift and carry heavy or bulky items.  Store loads at waist height if you need to move them regularly.  Maintain good general fitness. Lifestyle and leisure activities are important to your wellbeing at work.  Follow safe work practices. These are designed to protect you and prevent injuries.
