I am one of the Council’s corporate safety officers and this research is being undertaken as part of my studies with Brunel University. (see letter below for more participant information). I would like to identify whether or not there is a relationship between how we do our work, that is, mainly seated, on the move or a mixture of the two, and our health. It is hoped that my study will provide useful information about the effects that work-style might have on health and suggest ways in which we can safeguard our health.

Your participation within this study is voluntary. The information collected in the questionnaire will only be used for the purpose of statistical analysis. It will be collected in a manner that ensures that responses are anonymous.
