Sitting Comfortably Behind the Wheel

At work

Driving a car, a truck, a bus, a car or any other vehicle can cause a lot of back pain! Especially when you also have to handle heavy loads to deliver to customers. Or, like sales people, when you also work on a laptop and other mobile screens!

Driving posture and ergonomics

After 30 minutes of sitting, compression appears in the lower back. So just imagine the strain on your back if you’re taking a wrong sitting posture!

Learning how to adjust your seat is therefore essential. Posture training is intended for public transport drivers (bus, train, tram), sales representatives, truck drivers, etc.

For all logistics-related occupations, a part concerning lifting and carrying of loads can be added.

In Switzerland, two training courses are recognised by the OACP through ASTAG: a half-day course (to be combined with another half-day course), and a one-day course (the afternoon is devoted to stress and psychosocial risks).

These were the most clear instructions for me. I have adjusted my seat perfectly and felt a lot of comfort and relief in my back and shoulders.
