Abstract
All Australian employers have a duty of care to ensure that the workplace is safe for employees and free of known sources of harm such as trip hazards and unsafe manual handling techniques. Yet, the standard posture for many modern occupations is seated at a computer undertaking data entry, knowledge-based work or telephone based customer services. As such, a large proportion of employees may spend more than 7h per day sitting. Research has found that adults who sit more during the day have a higher risk of early death, particularly due to cardiovascular disease.
