Talk:Complications of prolonged standing

Article requires a wording/sourcing correction, and advice would be appreciated.

I've noticed one excerpt from the article which sounds really out of place and, in my opinion, doesn't follow Wikipedia standards:

"Companies should design workstations that are conducive to good health. Workstations should allow workers to choose between several working positions and to move easily between them. Additionally, workers should be able to adjust the height of their workstations to fit their body size. Other helpful aspects of workstations are footrests, elbow rests, and seats so workers can sit when they need to."

Why "should" companies do anything? Is this required and is this factual information? Are companies required to provide "workstations that are conducive to good health" by law internationally? I don't believe this is enforced. This seems more like a statement of your personal views rather than informational fact expected of Wikipedia.

Any ideas on how this could be rewritten to fit Wikipedia's standards? Drunk Experiter (talk) 23:33, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

The sentence cites the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, which has guidelines that are presumably enforced at workplaces by routine inspection. OSHA does the same in the US through various ergonomics guidelines specific to different occupations [[1]].

This part of the article could clarify that the recommendations for preventing complications of prolonged standing are enforced, at least in principle, by various governmental occupational safety organizations around the world, provided there are good enough sources.
