Musculoskeletal Disorders
EOSH Module 26
'Work-related musculoskeletal disorders' (WMSDs) is a term used to describe a painful or disabling injury to the muscles, tendons or nerves caused or aggravated by work.
These work-related disorders of the neck, shoulder, lower back, upper limbs, and locomotor organs continue to be of interest to workers, researchers and companies due to the significant temporary or permanent disability of workers; symptoms such as pain numbness and tingling; time off from work, reduced productivity, increased worker's compensable costs; and the increasing number of associated cases coming before the courts.
This module covers definition of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, risk factors, recognition and prevention of WMSDs.
