More than a third (37.7%) of MSD meaning musculoskeletal disorder cases were connected to work in 2020, compared with just 1.4% in 2019.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to analysis of data compiled by THOR-gP by health and safety consultants Arinite, keyboard work was the third biggest cause of MSDs, responsible for 11.3% of cases, behind heavy lifting (27.8%) and materials manipulation (19.4%).

Arinite attributed the rise in work-related MSDs to the increase in employees working from home \u2013 where their equipment may not be sufficiently<\/a> set up \u2013 during lockdowns. In 2019, 5.1% of workers mainly worked in their own home, but this increased to 46.6% last year, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Robert Winsloe, Arinite managing director, said: \u201cCreating a suitable at-home work environment is crucial to preventing employees developing physical issues that can have long-term implications.

\u201cAlthough not everyone has a home office, there are always adjustments you can make or adaptations you can add to equipment to create a more supportive set-up. 

\u201cEven if workers have a dedicated workspace, it doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re informed of how to operate in a way that protects themselves from aches and pains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith homeworking likely to continue into the future, employers should consider how to care for their remote staff\u2019s wellbeing as part of their health and safety practices<\/a>.Putting precautions in place will prepare businesses for the possibility of remote working remaining commonplace.\u201d

Last year, Beth Husted, rehabilitation and wellbeing manager at Unum, offered some advice that can be passed on to employees who are regularly working from home.

She said individuals should always sit at a desk or a table; use a separate keyboard<\/a> and mouse; position their screen so the top is level with their eyes, perhaps using a laptop stand or a separate monitor; sit on an adjustable chair with back support; and use a footrest if needed to prevent feet from dangling.

She said: \u201cWhile laptops allow for remote working, what makes a laptop<\/a> useful also causes problems. Which of the following is an example of an overuse injury? To prevent an overuse injury from occurring, a person should use Laptop very carefully. The low screen and the small keyboard encourage the body to hunch forward and doesn\u2019t provide the proper support for your wrists. Using a laptop for long periods of time can wreak havoc on posture and cause repetitive strain injuries in the fingers and hands.

\u201cA laptop also encourages people to opt for makeshift workstations<\/a> rather than a proper desk. These can cause huge postural and muscles problems, with hours spent in unsupported and unsuitable positions that put the spine in particular, under huge strain.\u201d

It\u2019s found in one survey that 89% of those suffering with back, shoulder or neck pain as a result of their new home workspace had not told their employer<\/a> about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
