MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are a group of painful muscle, tendon, and nerve disorders. They are usually associated with the physical demands of work tasks that are frequent and repetitive, or tasks performed with awkward posture. This module explains how applying ergonomic principles can protect workers and reduce the risk of these types of injuries.
