MOVEMENT CONTROL ORDER AND WORKING FROM HOME
Work-From-Home Comfort

In an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, most people are advised to distance themselves from others. This is the best strategy to protect the public health system. However, many businesses were not prepared for the sudden announcement of closures. Many workers, like those at Farmachem, had to leave the office with essential documents and equipment before the closure. Working from home is common under the right circumstances. If you don't have a dedicated workspace or a home office, it can lead to unwanted health issues.
Simple Tips:
Here are some easy tips to optimize your posture to avoid eye, neck, and upper and lower back pain while working from home. These tips are adapted and modified from the System Concept Ltd blog. We have made some adjustments as we believe most people don't need to work from home after the end of the Movement Control Order (PKP). Therefore, investing in expensive ergonomic equipment is not practical.
WORKING FROM HOME SITTING POSTURE
1. Work at a desk with sufficient leg and knee space so that you can sit or stand comfortably close to your laptop. (If you have no choice but to work at the kitchen table or dining table, ensure your chair has support. Roll up a thick towel for use as a lumbar roll support).
2. Use a separate keyboard and mouse with your laptop. (If you do not have an external keyboard or mouse, place the laptop on the table evenly). Ensure that your wrists are well-supported to prevent injuries to the wrist joint.
3. Place the keyboard and mouse in front of you within easy reach.
4. Position your laptop so that the eye level with the screen is parallel. If you do not have a specific laptop stand, use a file box or several books to raise the position of your laptop. Install a separate monitor if you have one. (Prolonged viewing of the screen at a downward angle can cause tension and neck pain. Remember to sit with the correct posture by ensuring your eye level is in its natural position to prevent neck and eye pain).
5. Maintain good body posture; if sitting, try to ensure that your spine is supported, your shoulders are relaxed, and there is no pressure on the back of your knees. If standing (at the kitchen table), ensure your legs, body, neck, and head are aligned and upright. Avoid slouching, leaning, or tilting to the side.
6. Do not sit or stand for too long. Change your body position every few minutes and take short breaks away from your laptop. (Movement Control Order does not mean you cannot move around the house. Movement and stretching are crucial to prevent muscle cramps).
7. Have Pernaton Gel ready for long conference calls. This gel can relieve joint and muscle pain that cannot be avoided. WORK FROM HOME COMFORTABLY AND ENJOY IT!
