'Work Strain Causes Real Pain' Brochure
‘Work Strain Causes Real Pain’ Brochure
Work strain causes injuries and pain to our backs, shoulders, necks, arms, wrists and our whole bodies. These are the most common health and safety problems in Australia. In 2001, more than 76,000 Australian workers received workers’ compensation for what are commonly called sprain and strain or musculoskeletal injuries – that’s more than 200 per day!
Some people think that work strain is just ‘part of the job’. This is not true. It is preventable and should be stopped.
This brochure highlights the causes and impacts of strain and stress on the body in the workplace and offers some suggestions on how to alleviate such duress in the workplace and what employers should be doing to make your place a safe and responsible workplace.
