UK best equipped to combat long hours fatalities Published: 19 May 2021 A worrying parallel between excessive working hours and life-threatening physical health issues has been revealed, but the UK may be best suited to combating overworking. A new study by the World Health Organization (WHO) found working weeks exceeding 55 hours are associated with a 35% higher risk of stroke and a 17% higher risk of dying from heart disease than 35-40-hour weeks. The study has also calculated a total 745,000 people died in 2016 due to long hours. The Western Pacific and South-East Asia carried a higher burden of ill-health related to long hours. The UK, fortunately, is seemingly better equipped to tackle overworking than some of the other geographies in the study according to Steve Herbert, head of benefits strategy at consultancy Howden Employee Benefits & Wellbeing.
