MSD Solutions Lab Townhall
Work-related physical risk factors, such as force, posture and repetition, are commonly studied, assessed and considered when designing work and preventing musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks. While these risk factors are vital to consider when implementing programs to mitigate MSDs, non-physical risk factors such as work organization or job stress should also be recognized to provide for a more holistic approach to assess MSD risks. In this town hall, speakers will discuss the importance of accounting for non-physical risk factors to provide for a well-rounded approach to MSD prevention and will share practical ways organizations can begin accounting for such risks in their workplaces. As we look to the future of MSD prevention and ergonomics, an emphasis on both physical and non-physical risk factors is needed.
