Lakewood, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/07/2015 -- According the Bureau of Labor Statistics, administrative professionals including secretaries and administrative assistants, account for over four million jobs in the United States. This sector ranks among the largest occupation in the United States economy. With so many people working in the office, their health and safety becomes an issue.
A representative from My Identity Doctor stated, "The last week in April is Administrative Professionals Week and we would like to provide safety tips for the millions of professionals in these positions. Issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders should be addressed and preventative measures should be taken. For those who do suffer, medical alert jewelry is a positive step toward alerting those around you of your condition, in case you aren't able to let them know if an emergency arises."
Preventative Measures for Issues Related to Office Injuries
-Musculoskeletal problems account for most office injuries. Preventative measures include rearranging the workspace to avoid over-extending arms, don't sit or stand for too long, avoid awkward postures, use a back or foot rest.
-Get up from the desk every hour to recover from muscle fatigue. Taking many breaks by getting up and walking around avoids eye strain, muscle aches and general fatigue.
-Don't skip meals, eating properly fuels the body toward productivity. Eat fruit, nuts, low-fat yogurt, avoid the donuts and cookies that are often brought into an office setting.
-Be active outside of the office – get plenty of physical exercise including taking the stairs instead of the elevator, park farther away from the door, and meet with co-workers for walks during breaks or over lunch.
-Learn how to manage stress. Office jobs can be particularly stressful, manage stress through yoga, meditation and exercise. These practices will lower stress and anxiety, and promote a positive outlook, allowing for better work productivity.
