Lower back pain is a frequent cause of discomfort for people at some point in their lives. Also known as lumbago, it can be either sudden or come on slowly and can come about because of both natural causes and because of an injury or fall. If this sounds familiar, you could be entitled to compensation. In the UK, back pain is one of the major causes of sickness absence and, whilst it can be painful, it is not normally serious with pain subsiding after at most a few weeks. However, if your back pain is consistent and lasts for over 3 months, then it is called chronic back pain and is judged to cause long term problems.
Your employer has a duty to your wellbeing whilst at work and so, if you are requested to do something whilst working, then the employer has a responsibility to complete a risk assessment to ascertain the suitability of requesting you to complete that task. This applies to any action required of you at work. If you have not previously been informed on how to avoid injury when completing any such tasks then the employer is liable for compensation claims. This often comes in the form of on the job training.
