Deeply moved by the magnificent scenery of the Giant's Causeway. This unique natural landscape is breathtakingly beautiful. I'm so glad I came here!

🇬🇧 In the UK, access to Occupational Health (OH) is not mandatory for most employers—yet work-related ill health costs billions. Why is the UK lagging behind other EU nations?

🇩🇪 Germany: OH is mandatory. Employers can provide €600 tax-free per employee per year for certified health promotion, incl. OH. 🇳🇱 Netherlands: OH is legally required. Costs are tax-deductible + VAT refundable.

🇫🇷 France: All employers must provide OH services under labour law. Regular medical checks + return-to-work plans are enforced. 🇸🇪 Sweden: OH is encouraged, tax-deductible, and often used before long-term absence begins.

🇬🇧 UK: Employers can offer up to £500 tax-free for OH treatment—but only after a health professional recommends it during absence. No broader OH requirement. No strong prevention incentives. SMEs often left behind.

New research shows that high physical activity at work increases early death risk in men by 18%. #OccupationalHealth #PhysicalActivityParadox

Not all physical activity is healthy. A meta-analysis of 193,000+ workers found that leisure time PA = protective, but job-related PA = riskier. 🏃‍♂️🛠️ #PublicHealth

Men with physically demanding jobs have higher all-cause mortality, even if they’re otherwise active. Why? No rest, high strain, chronic load. #WorkplaceWellbeing

several systematic reviews quantify the “physical activity paradox” in workers. Time to rethink how we measure 'active' lifestyles. #EvidenceBased

⚠️ Physical activity at work ≠ exercise. Repetitive tasks, static postures, long hours = cardiovascular strain, not cardiovascular health. #Physiology

❗ Current physical activity guidelines don’t distinguish work vs. leisure activity. This paper suggests we must. #HealthGuidelines

Even after adjusting for smoking, fitness, and leisure-time activity, the risk from high-activity jobs remains. This is not just lifestyle-related. #Epidemiology

💡 Key implication: Jobs must match individual fitness. One-size-fits-all for physically demanding roles may be harmful. #Ergonomics #HealthAtWork

The “more movement is better” mantra needs nuance. We need domain-specific activity guidance—not just blanket steps-per-day targets. #HealthPolicy
