Boost your health at work

Most of our waking hours are spent at work, which means the working environment can play a big part in our well-being.

In 2008/9, nearly 30 million working days were lost due to workplace injury and ill-health. Stress and back pain are the two biggest causes of absence from work.

There are many things that workers can do not only to reduce their risk of work-related ill-health but also to use their time at work to boost their health.
