If you stand most of the day, stand with good posture. Don't stand with all of your weight on one leg. Your weight should be evenly distributed between both legs. Also, if you stand for a long period of time in one place, flex the knees - this will help alleviate the pressure particularly on the lower back.
If you're standing in a pretty still position, think about tightening the calves or curling your toes which activates the muscles in the legs. This will also help alleviate pressure.
If you're working with things that weigh more than a couple of pounds, work with them as close to the body as possible. the further away they are the more torque and pressure that is put on the lower back.
