the impact of poorly designed workspaces
Research shows that UK workers suffer approximately 553,000 cases of work-related musculoskeletal disorders each year (European Agency for Safety & Health at Work). Unfortunately, the basic tools we need to do our jobs can often be the source of pain.
Many UK workers have to use Display Screen Equipment (DSE) regularly (if not continually) to complete tasks. However, inappropriate use of DSE and poorly designed workspaces can cause issues for users, such as fatigue, eye strain and backache. This has a major impact on businesses, increasing the likelihood of illness, reducing productivity and harming staff retention rates.
