Suggested team-level strategies to BeUpstanding according to the Hierarchy of Control (adapted from Resource 3.2).

Hierarchy of control	Strategies
Elimination	Use technology (eg, voice recognition software) to eliminate prolonged sedentary tasks
Substitution (redesign)	Enable internal stair access and workplace re-design to facilitate more movement where possible Move water, bins, and printers away from desks Install height-adjustable workstations Provide designated standing areas (eg, in tea rooms and meetings rooms) Provide facilities such as showers and lockers to encourage active transport and physical activity Use phone support accessories (eg, headphones and speaker phones) to facilitate standing during phone-based tasks
Administration	Create a walking track around workplace Encourage workers to leave desks during breaks Provide organizational support for flexible hours for lunch breaks to encourage physical activity (eg, gym visits) Encourage face-to-face interaction with colleagues Stand up and move around when taking a phone call (where possible) Undertake walking meetings Conduct standing meetings Encourage staff to regularly walk to top up water glass/bottle Use signage (eg, posters) to support BeUpstanding messages Use computer software to prompt breaks from sitting Provide physical prompts at desk to stand regularly (eg, stickers) Leave desk in standing position when leaving workspace (if using height-adjustable workstations) Conduct daily group activity sessions Undertake a team challenge (eg, 10,000 steps challenge)
