Employers have a responsibility to ensure their employees don't get back problems as a result of working practices. They can face prosecution if they fail to identify and assess risks to staff and take preventative measures to overcome those that are found.
Employees also have a responsibility to look after their own backs but they should be properly trained in back care by their employer. The Government is keen workers get as much information and advice about back care as possible.
Preventing work-related back problems
If you spend much of your time at work sitting at a desk, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of back problems.
Seating
A properly adjusted chair reduces the strain on your back.
Sit up straight
Make sure your knees are level with your hips
If your chair doesn't provide enough back support, use a rolled up towel or cushion
Are your feet flat on the floor? If not, use a footrest to relieve pressure on your joints and muscles
Avoid crossing your legs or sitting with one (or both) twisted beneath you
Monitor
Your computer monitor should be about 30cm to 75cm (12in to 30in) from your eyes - a good guide is to place it at arm's length
The top of the screen should be roughly at eye level
Position the monitor so it reflects as little overhead lighting and sunlight as possible
Keyboard
Keep your wrists straight, not bent up or down - a wrist rest may help
Your elbows should be vertically under your shoulders - position the mouse as close to you as possible to allow this
A mouse mat with wrist pad can help keep your wrist straight
Learning keyboard short cuts may also help
Other objects
Position frequently used objects, such as a telephone or stapler, within easy reach - it's important to avoid repeatedly stretching or twisting
If you spend a lot of time on the phone, consider using a headset - cradling the phone between your ear and shoulder can strain the muscles in your neck
Take a break
If your job is computer-based, make sure you take regular breaks - for every hour at your keyboard, have at least five to ten minutes' rest
Get up and move around
Rest your eyes regularly - look away from the screen and focus on something in the distance for a few seconds
Gentle exercise can help to relax your muscles and clear your mind
If you experience regular aches and pains at work, speak to your occupational health department or GP.
