No Harm Health and Safety Podcast

Many health care professionals recommend doing whatever you can to avoid a sedentary lifestyle, at home and at work. They say that failure to move around during the day can result in what's known as "Sitting Disease" and all of the complications of metabolic syndrome. What can you do about it in your own work life? Listen-in as Marv interviews Linda Miller, an occupational therapist, certified ergonomist and president of EWI Works.
