WHSC ergonomics training—focused on RSI/MSD prevention
Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), commonly referred to as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), remain the most common type of injury suffered by workers. Tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of Ontario workers across all economic sectors will develop an MSD in 2012. They will suffer aches, pains, tingling, swelling and loss of joint movement and strength in the affected area(s). For too many, these symptoms will progress into crippling disorders impacting their ability to work and lead normal lives.
International RSI Awareness Day, held annually the last day in February, provides an important opportunity to highlight the many ways to prevent RSIs/MSDs.
For our part in support of International RSI Awareness Day, the WHSC has scheduled training across Ontario focusing on the knowledge and tools needed to identify, assess and eliminate the hazards responsible for the development of MSDs. Each program is being offered at a deeply discounted rate of $20 per participant.
