Frequently Asked Questions
What causes back pain in the workplace?
Some of the most common reasons for back pain at work include:
- Lifting of heavy or bulky loads

- Working with display screen equipment

How can I reduce back pain and neck pain at work?
Those who spend a lot of time seated at a desk are at higher risk for poor posture, discomfort, or back or neck pain. Some simple and effective ways to help mitigate this increase risk are to:
- Practice good posture – When seated at a desk, workers should keep feet level on the floor, their back even against the chair, and their head in a netural position between the shoulders.
- Use a correct screen height – Place your monitor straight in front of you with the center of screen level with your nose
- Stand often – Shifting one’s position occasionally can help relieve built-up tension from long periods of being in the same position.
How can back injuries be prevented in the workplace?
Back injuries in the workplace can be prevented by maintaining good awareness of risks to one’s back health. Keeping good posture while working, being mindful while lifting things, and changing up repetitive tasks, among many other things, can ensure back health and safety for everyone.
