Study reveals back pain pattern

Article Abstract:

A study from the UK Health & Safety Executive has revealed that supermarket cashiers suffer more back pain that the rest of the population, and also more than shop workers in other countries. The study, compiled from 1,830 cashiers, shows that 56.7% experienced lower back pain and 25.3% had experienced upper back problems. The highest reports of trouble came from those involved in trolley load/unload and cashier packing. Half of those who had problems blamed their jobs for the pain, but a link was drawn between the morale of the workers and their perceived state of health.
