Office workers are especially prone to back pain due to the nature of display screen equipment (DSE). This type of equipment requires staff to sit in static postures for long periods, whilst repeating the same movements. Users need to be made aware of the risks, and how to stay healthy through regular stretching, correct posture and breaks.
Why Is Back Care in Offices Training Important?
An overwhelming majority of office workers experience back pain quite early in their careers. Yet the underlying causes and risks are not always accurately assessed.
If handled improperly back pain will worsen, lead to lost time off of work and impact our wellbeing. But, by understanding how to care for our backs, we can reduce the risk of injury whilst working, and learn to manage any existing pain that we experience.
