Workers pain conditions

FOR WHO THAT DOESN’T KNOW IT 

Workers pain conditions

According to a study, 12.6% of workers experience a loss of productivity due to the following pain conditions: 5.4% headache; 3.2% back pain; 2.0% musculoskeletal pain; and 2.0% arthritis pain. The study further reports an average loss of 4.6 hours per week per person who experiences debilitating pain. Since the majority of this loss is at work as reported, then employers are losing an average of 3.5 hours per week, or 23 days per year, of productive time when a worker is in pain (76.6% x 4.6 hours).

The anti-fatigue technology has been optimized to reduce the pain and fatigue associated with standing work. Since standing workers frequently report back and musculoskeletal pain conditions, an anti-fatigue carpet can help reduce 41%* of the pain associated with lost productivity (3.2% back pain and 2.0% musculoskeletal pain).
