1. Are you a member of the office workers? Yes, once all installation and commissioning tasks are completed; No, if they haven’t been completed yet. 2. Do you already suffer from any occupational diseases? If so, how do you deal with them? I have a bit of neck pain. I exercise for about an hour every day, doing weightlifting and power walking…so it’s gotten better. 3. What measures should we take to prevent occupational diseases? Go outside more, breathe fresh air, and sweat more. Take long walks…Computers and the Internet are useful, but they can also be the cause of pain. 4. Are there any simple yet effective exercises suitable for a small office? Stand up, get everyone a cup of coffee, fetch fresh water when it runs out. Be attentive to others – it will all pay off in the end…both in terms of office relationships and health

Reply 1# uyuwj 1. Yes, I’m also an office worker; except at noon, I hardly go outside. 2. Yes, I suffer from myopia, and to prevent my vision from getting worse, I look at things in the distance every hour or so. 3. I think we should take breaks from time to time, and we should get time off from work to take care of our health.
