Sounds like your having a break now - only kidding…!

The article is nothing new Phillipe. What they don’t mention is the issue of people who do have back problems and despite all the best intentions of some companies, are forgotten about as individuals.

e.g. I know several individuals who although they have been so called ‘assessed’ via a DSE assessment, they constantly have to take pain relieving drugs to combat back injuries/illnesses/afflictions. These are compounded by poor posture and also poor seating provided.

Many employers don’t appreciate how this can effect their employees! Many employees don’t like to mention that they have these problems in the first instance.

Phillipe, you get your feet up mate and have 40winks.
