One in four work all day without a break
One in four people are putting their health at risk by regularly working all day without taking a break, a new report is warning.
The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) said long hours, working while ill or stressed and lack of exercise posed "serious risks" to health and could lead to huge costs for employers.
A survey of over 2,600 adults showed that one in four did not have a break for lunch, mainly because they had too much work to do or there were too few staff in their organisation to cover workloads.
The CSP launched a campaign to change working and exercise habits, warning people they were increasing their risk of back pain, obesity, cancer, depression and heart disease.
Over half of those questioned said they struggled into work when they felt stressed or ill.
