Topic Overview: Today, stress, poor fitness and increased weight all present challenges for the health and safety of workers, especially in the prevention of strains, sprains and other musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs.) In this session, we will discuss the link between an employee’s overall health and these types of injuries. We will also give examples of changes to consider to better prevent these injuries, including, but not limited to, ergonomic equipment solutions.

 Objectives:

  1. Describe how stress contributes to musculoskeletal disorders.
  2.  Explain how an obese worker may be at increased risk for musculoskeletal disorders.    
  3. List two environmental concerns that should be considered in an effort to improve safety for the obese worker.
  4. Review two organizational level solutions to prevent musculoskeletal disorders.
