Welwyn and Hatfield Back Pain

 

Substantial numbers of UK workers risk their health and increase the possibility of developing injuries every day as a result of poor work habits.

A UK wide survey of more than 2000 employees by the CSP5 found that:

• one in four people (25%) regularly work all day without taking a break

• 31% experience physical pain at least once a week

• 46% of workers say their physical pains are due to working in the same position for a long time

• 53% cent of workers said they ‘always or usually’ go to work when they feel physically unwell.

Heavy workloads seem to be largely responsible for these poor work habits:

• half of those who work through their breaks (50%) do so because they have too much work to do

• almost a third (31%) say it is because there are too few staff to cover the workload.

A recent TUC report reveals that across the UK more than 5 million people worked on average in excess of seven hours a week unpaid overtime in 2009 – worth more than £27.4 billion. 9 This type of work culture has a detrimental impact on physical and mental well-being which can drive down an individual’s ability to cope. Performance and productivity can actually decline.

Encouragingly, when the CSP surveyed managers and employers6, 69% of small-medium enterprises (SMEs) said they felt it was important for their staff’s health that they had at least a 30 minute break at lunchtime.
