unpleasant sensations in hands and
arms, around the neck and shoulders or

• Operators should aim for a comfortable
posture while standing securely and
avoiding awkward or other postures mak-
ing it difficult to balance their body. When
working for extended periods of time, op-

comfort and fatigue.
