Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries among construction workers, yet ergonomic programs for MSD prevention are often "add-ons" to safety and rarely sustainable. Many tools, equipment, and work processes are available to reduce the physical demands of work. Incorporating ergonomics into a safety management system provides an orderly approach to integrating ergonomic principles and practices into work processes and the safety culture of a company.
Join our friends at CPWR for this no-cost 45 minute webinar to learn how to develop a model program for integrating ergonomics into a safety management program to help address ergonomic hazards and reduce workers risk for musculoskeletal disorders.
