Office ergonomics and injury prevention
  Over the last ten years, there has been an increase in days off work for low back and neck pains along with   repetitive stress injuries. As everyone knows, prevention is better and cheaper than cure!


Why the increase?
  As a result of the advancement of IT, people are spending longer sitting at their desks without taking natural   breaks.
  Added to this is an increase in stress, which has become a more widespread problem as a result of job   uncertainties.

  Recent statistics reveal a lack of regular exercise, and an increase in obesity.

  These three factors alone increase the liklihood of workplace problems.


How we can help
  Assessment of the individual workstation at the beginning of employment if there has been any history of low   back or neck pain, or any upper limb discomfort.
  Individual assessment of an employee with a specific problem.

  Assessment of a department or section where there has been a change of office furniture, or location.

  Advice on office furniture. We have a contract with a leading Swedish manufacturer of ergonomic office   furniture.

  Advice on posture, work time management and exercise will increase overall comfort at the workstation,   resulting in :

  • Reduction of lower back pain
  • Reduction of stress caused neck and shoulder tension
