The Changing World of Work
Whilst rates of 'traditional' occupational health problems continue to decline, those with a less clear biological cause, such as stress
and musculoskeletal disorders remain on the rise.

The changing nature of work and workforce
Both the ways in which work is conducted, and the people that it is conducted by, are becoming increasingly diverse. For instance there
is expected to be increased part-time working, increased use of flexible working patterns, continuing migration to the UK, more older people
in work and more women in work.
Consequently, the role of psychology and human factors in occupational health and safety management has never been so important.
Did you know that;
- Up to 80% of accidents are typically attributed to human error?
- Stress is now the leading cause of days lost through sickness absence, resulting in around 10.5 million lost working days per year?
