Preventing Workplace Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD)
New resources that help prevent workplace musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) include:
- Six-part video tutorial to enhance understanding of how MSDs occur and how to take simple steps at the workplace to remove or control hazards
- Bulletins that explain actions workers and employers can take if MSD symptoms or injury occur
- A poster that identifies common signs and symptoms of MSDs
- Postcards that raise awareness about the importance of MSDs and where to find more information
The slips, trips and falls resources include:
- Four video presentations to promote slip, trip and fall awareness and safety, and simple steps at the workplace to remove or control these hazards; and
- Six bulletins that explain actions workers and employers can take when slip, trips, or falls are present or situations surrounding slip, trip and fall hazards.
These resources were developed with Alberta’s OHS system stakeholders and address important issues identified by those on the front-line. The resources are developed specifically for workers, supervisors and employers with an emphasis on small and medium businesses.
