TY  - JOUR
AB  - Awkward body postures and the progressive accumulation of muscle fatigue are known risk factors for the development of injury, with most work-related musculoskeletal disorders developing over time [1]. Work-related disorders can develop while carrying out normal physical work activities and are associated with fixed or constrained body positions and continual repetition of movements [1]. Heavy workloads on the maternity unit often require staff to perform physically demanding activities under pressure and adopt suboptimal postures. Simple ergonomic intervention such as providing suitable adjustable seating and the appropriate layout of equipment can reduce injuries, reduce sickness absence and improve productivity [2].
