A Letter of complaint
In order to reduce the ill health of workers, there are many laws on how a workplace should be designed. Especially as a hairdresser, you are exposed to dangerous chemicals and stress damage to the entire body due to. the standing posture. As a human, if you get stuck in movement or posture for a long time, blood circulation is throttled and there is pressure on tissues and nerve pathways, which can cause severe pain. When the blood is stopped the heart should continue to work, but it is important to vary its movement it is for example you have many breaks at work so that you can breathe fresh air and maybe take a walk so that the muscles can recover.
When muscle fatigue becomes apparent it is a warning signal that the muscles have no energy however it is difficult to say when a posture becomes harmful, therefore it is important to listen as a hairdresser when your body is no longer able. When it comes to the work of hairdressers, there is a lot of stress on the feet, legs, back, neck, shoulders and wrists. If you vary one’s movement, one’s blood flow increases, which results in pressure decreases and there is less strain. As a hairdresser it is more comfortable to stand but you should make sure to stand straight not to hang on a hip or lean in any direction, not stretch your shoulders and arms but work close to your body and have your hands at elbow height, do not bend your legs on your back. Regardless of whether you are quite a hairdresser, it is important to have good strength and stamina so that you can cope more with the long working days.
Is one of the important things when it comes to the hairdresser’s ergonomics when certain hairdressing products cause asthma which irritates the respiratory tract and destroys the natural purification mechanisms. Therefore, general ventilation is good and should be adapted to how and where work on hazardous chemicals is carried out. In addition, it is good to have good lighting while working so that you do not wear your body unnecessarily and avoid being blinded. If there is no good lighting, it causes fatigue in the eyes, which can lead to headaches and strained neck and back. This is why most workplaces are usually designed so that daylight comes in as much as possible with the help of large windows and thus utilize vitamin D as much as possible.
I think it is very important that you take into account and adapt to the people, depending on what work it is and in what environment you are in. It is important that you make sure you vary your staff so that you do not expose yourself to For example, getting stuck in certain movements or postures while working, for example when working as a hairdresser, when you do not risk stopping your blood circulation. In addition, it is serious and needs to be moved immediately. This can lead to feeling stressed about not being able to concentrate and focus well on the work. I think it is important that you make sure to change it, because you can influence a lot, as you can improve your working environment. This can be done by talking to, for example, the manager at work, and talking about structuring good work planning with fair breaks, to be able to solve it and to improve this in the best way. So that you can adapt to the work, in the best way without exposing your own body to injury.
