Do any of you know what particular injuries /issues you get when your work requires you to kneel for a large part of the day. I have tried Internet searching this, but a lot of the web sites seem to go off at a tangent. So other than take regular breaks which seems common sense and not what I wanted, I have not found any actual issues. There must be some sort of syndrome associated with this actively. We have an employee who after kneeing down for a large part of the day went home with sore knees, had a bath and then their knees had swelled up so much so they could not put weight on their knees. Although some jobs require kneeling it is normally mixed in with standing work. NB he was kneeling on a foam kneeling pad. They claim they had no prior injury or particular issues, and hospital just said pulled muscle. I'm obviously going to investigate and not concerned with RIDDOR just what effect this has on the body.

Ah yes Bursitis I used to know that. Thank you Jodie
