Musculoskeletal Disorders: Managing the Risk of Manual
Handling and Display Screen Equipment for Workers on Site or
Working from Home
The world of work is constantly changing but the pandemic has made
adaptation of the work environment and working practices necessary
for many organisations. In this ‘new normal’ era, organisations
must remain mindful of MSD risks and take ongoing action to monitor
and manage them. This strong focus on worker health and safety, in
turn, benefits organisational performance.
To help to inform employers, we were proud to host a free
webinar on how to effectively manage the risk of MSDs in your
workplace and protect your home workers. This hour-long event
featured experts from HSE including HM Health and Safety Inspectors
and our Principal Ergonomist to discuss current guidance and
principles and give some practical examples of where a
best-practice, proportionate approach worked well.
We took questions during the webinar and NEBOSH and TSO
joined us to highlight official resources, products and services
that can help you to identify and reduce risk of injury.
