excerpt

At every company we visited the associates in each work cell worked standing up. This was deemed very important for a number of reasons. First, from an ergonomic standpoint, standing up is safer on the back when there are twisting motions. An operator that needs to turn to grab another part or perform an operation is in more danger if sitting than if he or she can step into the turn while standing. Operators that stand also tend to be more productive and energetic, and that increased movement and balance activity also promotes better health.
