Fatigue at work can be due to many things, but Correos, the Spanishpostal operator, is to make fundamental changes to mail centreswhich it says will improve staff health and improve productivity.

After succesful trials last year, Correos is to introduce new floorsurfaces designed to reduce fatigue and make tasks that necessitatestanding for long periods, more comfortable. It had been recognisedthat hard floors were a problem for many workers and the newsurfaces reduce vibration as well as insulating employees from thecold. Seating and tables are also to be replaced where possible,with more ergonomic designs. The introduction of better equipmentis also likely to improve conditions for Correos employees.

Over the next five months, most key mail centres will benefit fromimproved flooring including those at Valencia, Oviedo, Tenerife,Vitoria, Bilbao, Barcelona, Seville, Valladolid, Malaga, Santiago,Granada, Saragossa, the Balearics, Merida, Alicante, and Madrid.
