Take the MSD Pledge - National Safety Council

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) – such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sprains and strains – are complex and affect nearly one-quarter of the global population. In June 2022, NSC unveiled the groundbreaking MSD Pledge from the MSD Solutions Lab to spur a global employer-led movement to create safer, more ergonomic workplaces and reduce MSD risks and subsequent injuries.
