The Europe Region of World Physiotherapy applauds EU-OSHA’s initiative to address this issue.
Within this campaign we will focus on the topic of "remote work” building on the knowledge and lessons learns from the previous EU-OSHA campaign.
We have all witnessed that the shift from traditional in-person work to remote work has been a significant trend in recent years, especially accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. There are obvious advantages to telework, but it can also be a contributing factor to a more sedentary lifestyle.
Our aim will be to explore and promote methods and tools through which organisations can help mitigate the potential negative impact on physical activity levels and reduce the risk of MSDs among remote workers.
Digital age is no longer the future, it is the present, and as such it should be treated as an immediate priority
