Establishment of DOLE safety and health measures for sedentary workers
TO secure the welfare of workers, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) issued Department Order No. 184, requiring all employers to establish appropriate control measures to address the safety and health risks of workers who spend long hours sitting at work, such as those involved in computer, administrative, and clerical work, those working in highly mechanized establishments, fields of transportation, toll booths, information technology, and business process management, and all other processes and industries where sedentary work is observed.
