sedentary work is so detrimental to health that can reduce the life
expectancy, the need to stand all day at work is a source of serious
problems. Physical stress, repetitive actions and neergonomichnaya
posture can lead to the development of so-called musculoskeletal
disorders (SMR), which are one of the leading causes of job injuries and
illnesses in the world today. In 2011, construction activities have
caused 33 percent of all workers' injuries in the United States - more
than 378,000 cases. In Europe, more than 40 million workers suffer SMR
associated with their work, says the research data Fit for Work Europe»,
conducted in 23 European countries.
