@Work@Risk

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/111257/uk-office-workers-suffering-chronic-ill-health-survey

This article explains a report @Work@Risk done by ViewSonic (Monitor makers) which suggests how millions of  British office workers are suffering from what it terms as chronic 'poor desk health'.

There are some good statistics we could use for our HOOK. It could also be helpful while explaining the health risks office workers are at in our presentation and report.

"Some of the figures thrown up by the survey include 77 per cent of UK office workers suffering eye fatigue, 71 per cent backaches and 67 per cent headaches. And what of taking a break, to ease the stress? While we all know that we should periodically take a rest from staring at the screen, the survey found that 'high workloads' prevent 31 per cent of us from taking such 'ergo-breaks."
