MSD Non-Physical Risk Factors Whitepaper

Physical risk factors such as posture, force and repetition are studied and considered when designing work and preventing musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks. However, non-physical risk factors need to be considered too. A new report from the MSD Solutions Lab, Accounting for Non-Physical Risk Factors in MSD Prevention, discusses the importance of mitigating non-physical risk factors like job stress and long work schedules to promote a holistic approach to musculoskeletal disorder prevention. The paper categorizes risks as:

Organizational – factors influenced or controlled by the employer and related to the way work is designed, organized and managed

Psychosocial – factors concerning interactions between and among work environment, job content, organization conditions, and workers’ capacities, needs and culture

Behavioral – actions that a person engages in that can be modified or impacted by the workplace

Read the report now and learn how to circumvent the negative impacts of non-physical risk factors in your organization.
