Musculoskeletal disorders
Two resource kits by EU-OSHA to tackle musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the workplace are available and can be used in combination.
First of all, the MSD conversation starters (we presented them in our news a while ago) are now available in many languages. The brochure covers different scenarios, including tackling MSDs in a range of different jobs and can be used to facilitate group discussions in the workplace or during training. The tool contains guidance for managers and employees on communicating about MSDs.
The second resource is the "Understanding Musculoskeletal Disorders " toolkit, which uses more than a dozen Napo films to raise awareness among staff and suppliers, on topics such as bad postures, repetitive work, early detection of MSDs, handling loads and many more. The toolkit, which contains a ‘facilitator guidance’ and ‘discussion activities’, is also suitable for vocational training courses.
