Work Should Not Hurt is a participative ergonomics programme.

It's time to change the norm

WSNH is leading the charge for change in construction 

Work Should Not Hurt is a participative ergonomics programme. Put simply, this means actively involving workers and industry in developing and implementing changes to the way work is done.

The Work Should Not Hurt programme aims to make sure tradespeople can enjoy long, pain free careers and retire when they want to and not when forced to due to pain and injury.
