The problem

What we see in schools and learners

  • Learners carrying heavy school bags
  • One-size desks and chairs for children of very different heights
  • More screen time in computer labs and at home
  • Educators with back, neck and voice strain
  • No simple guidance for parents on study set-ups

The legal angle

Ergonomics Regulations, 2019 under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 for educators and school staff as employees; learner seating, school bags and screen use as a duty-of-care and wellbeing matter.
