MSD (Musculo-skeletal Disorders) Prevention Program
MSD (Musculo-skeletal Disorders) is a complex and expensive problem. You can succeed in dealing with it through knowledge. You have to become an expert on it in order to control it. Our job is to make the management team experts on dealing with and lowering MSD claims and costs, plus make employees committed experts on taking care of the working, aging body on and off the job.
Our program is not an “ergonomics program. ” It is an “ergonomics alternative program. ”
We go beyond ergonomics (which is not all that effective by itself) to include educating and motivating workers to take care of themselves on and off the job.
Ergonomics is NOT the underlying cause of most MSD claims.
Worker behavior is a far more common and easily corrected risk. This includes poor posture habits, poor body mechanics, poor fitness-for-work, and ongoing aging changes.
