Re: not coping

Great to see you @MoonGal ..,, 👋💕

My situation has turned on its head ..... my WH did a runner with someone else :face_with_rolling_eyes:🤬 ..... but it will eventually get to a place where I will be okay.

I hope you are doing well, and that's why we haven't heard from you for a while ....

Re: not coping

OK then came out of left field lol - pardon the pun. Get them to draw their legs up (reduces abdo pressure) and breathe through the nose, exhaling out the mouth @outlander

Re: not coping

thanks @Sans911
I done that to myself, apparently if you sit in a certain position for a while your legs forget they have to work. couldn't think of the position to treat it in not that I got much further then sitting up anyway. stupid idiot I am

Re: not coping

ill just stay over here now if that's ok? @Sans911

im not surprised people like talking to you about well anything. I understand everyones panicing but if they listen to the medical advice and follow the instructions set out then its better to understand. Im not panicing over it anymore, concerned mostly cause im not elderly and kids but following their rules and keeping safe quite easily.

I will have a look to see if I can find the first assessment question...

edited cause i found the question. i think theres some sort of resource or something i havent seen through the topic that i was suppose to download as there hasnt been any 'workplace introduction' and the rest of the details on the 3 dot points are very brief- like one or 2 lines each.

Question 1
In your workplace induction, you were provided with an overview of workplace health and safety, ergonomics, sustainability and organisational procedures.

Briefly outline two (2) organisational requirements for each of the following:
-Ergonomics
-Work breaks
-Sustainability/resource conservation

Re: not coping

Hmm interesting question @outlander. And I guess you don't need me to tell you to go look at the resources as that'll probably help a lot.

So I think the answers might go along these lines. For ergonomics you could discuss seating - why it's important to be have correct ergonomics. Relate it back to posture and link posture to potential long term health outcomes (I take you are studying health related subjects?). Poor posture reduces productivity & eventually leads to reduced capacity to work, time off for pain, discomfort.

Does this seem to on the right track before I go further?

Re: not coping

Its suppose to be a medical admin course but there's nothing medical about it yet @Sans911
Sounds like you might be on the right track though with the question

Re: not coping

Yeah but I guess these things are important because it's in your work environment. So it impacts your day to day work. Egornomics makes your work place and space more efficient. Having enough breaks in your day makes you more productive, etc.

So the other thing you might be able to talk about is your work station or desk. Why are they designed in a certain way? Who does it benefit, and how? What does my employer need to consider about the design of my desk and how does a desk make things easier?

Or talk about why it's important to have an organised workspace & the importance of your employer in not only arranging but maintaining order. It's because it provides a clear, uncluttered space so it's easier to find anything you need. It standardises the space so everyone knows where to find what they need. It looks professional so therefore instils in visitors a sense of a responsible organisation/workplace.

Not sure if what I'm saying is right here @outlander or utter BS, 😅
