At Summit Industry Health, we understand that the foundation of a successful business lies in the well-being of its employees. Musculoskeletal health, often overlooked, is crucial to ensuring your team remains strong, productive, and engaged at work.
Why Musculoskeletal Health Matters
Musculoskeletal injuries (also known as Body Stressing injuries), such as back pain, repetitive strain injuries, and joint problems, are a common occurrence in the workplaces and can significantly impact your team's well-being and productivity. These injuries not only cause physical discomfort but also lead to increased absenteeism and decreased morale, ultimately affecting your bottom line and business success.
Common Workplace Injuries
Back Pain: Often due to poor posture, incorrect manual handling activities, or sustained and/or awkward postures.
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs): Caused by repeated movements throughout production tasks and office environments.
Joint Problems: Issues in knees, shoulders, and wrists from overuse, strain or dysfunction.
The Impact on Productivity
Musculoskeletal injuries result in millions of lost workdays each year, affecting not just individual employees but also the overall workplace culture. When team members are in pain, their focus, efficiency, and job satisfaction suffer—leading to higher turnover, higher absenteeism, poor workplace culture and lower productivity.
Proactive Solutions: Invest in Your Team’s Health
To help address these issues, we offer targeted solutions designed to improve your team's musculoskeletal health:
Warm-Up and Stretching Programs: Implementing daily warm-up and stretching routines can significantly reduce the risk of injuries and keep your team feeling energised throughout the day. These simple exercises are a small investment with substantial returns in productivity and morale. Tailored to each department or work area, these warm-up and stretches can target the muscles and movements those team members predominantly use throughout their workday.
Ergonomic Assessments: Ensure your workstations and work areas are optimally set up to prevent strain and discomfort. Our ergonomic assessments provide personalised adjustments and recommendations that can make a world of difference in preventing common injuries like back pain and RSIs.

Investing in these proactive measures is more than just a health initiative—it's a strategic investment in your business's future. A healthy team is not only happier but also more productive and engaged.
