Practical tips to prevent musculoskeletal disorders through worker participation

The cost of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) to staff and businesses across the EU is high. The key to reducing MSDs is the workers themselves.

A new info sheet gives practical advice on how to involve workers actively in MSD prevention. They can identify hazards and possible risks, develop responses to ensure a safer and healthier workplace and put those into practice. The results of this cost-effective approach include greater risk awareness in the workplace, lower accident rates, and higher motivation and commitment among employees.
