Workplace Pain Costs the UK Economy Over £5.7 Billion Annually: How ErgoPro Can Help

Work-related musculoskeletal issues, such as back pain and repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), continue to take a significant toll on UK businesses and employees. According to the latest statistics:

• More than £5.7 billion is lost every year due to work-related pain.
• Over 4 million workdays are lost annually because of back pain, affecting productivity across industries.
• Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) lead to the loss of over 4.5 million workdays each year.

These figures highlight the pressing need for businesses to proactively address the health and safety of their employees, whether they work in an office, from home, or in a flexible setup.

The Legal Responsibility of Employers The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) emphasises that every employer is legally obligated to ensure the health and safety of their workforce, regardless of where employees are working. This includes carrying out regular risk assessments and providing ergonomic training to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
