Ergonomic chairs are required under a EU derived regulation to protect from RSI and back pain. Would you rather workers sit on wooden benches and then go off sick with back and neck pain? #deform 🙄 #bbclaurak

After an emotional and humbling day, back home for a bit of rugby. The question is which is best the English one with the Welsh sounding name or the one from the most beautiful part of south Wales? #WalesvEngland

Lisa's story is just one of many we hear from nursing staff who have been severely impacted by long COVID. On #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay, we reiterate our call for the government to recognise it as an occupational disease. If need support with long COVID, visit our website: buff.ly/Z490BtH

We’re on BlueSky! We’d love it if you bought one of our Long Covid pins to celebrate. Go to shh-uk.org/shop.

Union H&S reps are the eyes & ears of the workforce alerting managers to safety concerns before they cause harm to staff and patients.They should be celebrated by the employer, not victimised. Hats off to Mr Villani and all H&S reps.

‘… for the sake of those who didn’t get better, we need to keep talking about long Covid, calling for the government and employers to give those who are suffering the support they desperately need. Only then will we all be able to truly move on’

My Facebook timeline this morning. No words needed

@gallagherrose.bsky.social !! Fascinating!

Beautiful walk today around hollow pond. Cold but endless blue sky and sunshine, favourite walking weather.

What a brilliant track on ideologies! Wasn’t expecting that on a Sunday morning. #JoshuaIdehen #bbc6music open.spotify.com/track/46RISR...

Heavy workload, long hours, lack of autonomy, harassment in the #workplace... ⚠️ These are all examples of work-related #PsycoSocialRisks, which can severely affect the health of workers and are thus one of the biggest concerns to be addressed in modern working life

Time to repost this, an image that says more than words can on a day like this

We don’t know the true picture of violence against #NHS staff as the previous government stopped the collection of national data, but most NHS workers will tell you it has got worse in the past few years, exacerbated by extreme pressures on the service.We can’t go on like this.

Should have done a #COSHH assessment! apple.news/AHACqYrm2Tim...

Interesting case

Working in the NHS is hard enough right now but how can staff be expected to care for patients when buildings are literally crumbling around them. We need capital investment now apple.news/AVbcd31XYQZC...

I post about this a lot, but while lots of us can baton down the hatches,nursing staff are expected to get to work or deliver services in the community #amberalert #weatherwarnings Here’s information on what employers need to do to keep workers safe www.rcn.org.uk/Get-Help/RCN...

Today the UK government recommended a pay increase of 2.8% for nursing staff in 2025/26, as little as £2 extra a day. This is deeply offensive, detrimental to patients & contradictory to hopes of rebuilding the NHS. We are calling for direct negotiations on pay - our full response: bit.ly/49Dn28s

#AirPollution in the form of fine particulate matter or PM2.5, can lead to: 🔸 strokes 🔸 diabetes 🔸 heart diseases 🔸 lung cancer 🔸 respiratory diseases It also impacts pre and neonatal health.

Tragic that this is needed but a good move. We need this in the UK plus safeguards for community peripatetic workers www.euronews.com/green/2024/1...
