Various health issues can arise in the workplace, including:
- Musculoskeletal Disorders: Conditions such as back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome, often due to poor ergonomics. - Respiratory Conditions: Exposure to dust, chemicals, and other hazardous substances can lead to asthma and other respiratory issues. - Mental Health Problems: Stress, anxiety, and depression can be exacerbated by high job demands, lack of control, and poor work-life balance. - Infectious Diseases: Close working conditions can facilitate the spread of infectious diseases, including seasonal flu and, more recently, COVID-19.
