RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
1. Use long-handled dusters to reduce reaching requirements and thus straining on the upper limb girdle.<br />
2. Use long-handled scrubbers eg, ‘Doodle Bugs’. These scrubbers are long-handled to reduce reaching<br />
requirements and require minimal force to be applied.<br />
3. Provide back care education sessions for workers.<br />
