Work Organization How to reduce the risks by improving work organization or work practice |
|
| 1. | Continuous DSE work can be monotonous, while prolonged sitting is tiring. |
| 2. |
It is advisable that a DSE user performs DSE work and non-DSE work alternately so that posture can be changed and the fatigue arising from prolonged DSE work can be relieved. |
| 3. |
Where non-DSE work cannot be arranged, appropriate rest breaks are recommended, e.g. a 5 - 10 minute break after 1 - 2 hours continuous DSE work depending on the intensity of the work. Moreover, job enrichment can often give an employee more job satisfaction. |
| 4. | Heavy workloads and tight deadlines can cause work stress, which if not properly managed, may become excessive and affect health. It is advisable that a supervisor effectively plans and organizes the work of his subordinates so that workloads and deadlines are reasonable. In doing so, the supervisor can discuss with the subordinates in setting deadlines and work priorities. |
