MSD Risk Factors
INDIVIDUALRISK FACTORS
ERGONOMIC RISK FACTORS
MSD
- FORCE- REPETITION- POSTURE
- POOR WORK PRACTICES- POOR HEALTH PROFILE- NO RECOGNITION OF EARLY . WARNING SIGNS
Over time, exposure to risk factors leads to MSD.

Individual Risk Factors
Individual Risk Factors:
1. POOR WORK PRACTICES
2. POOR HEALTH PROFILE: HABITS, FITNESS, NUTRITION, HYDRATION, RECOVERY
3. NO RECOGNITION OF EARLY SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF MSDs

Employee Education and Training (Formal Classroom)
Classroom Training Content:
- Proper Warm Up
- Proper Body Mechanics and Technique
- Good Health Habits: Fitness, Nutrition, Hydration, Recovery
- Early Signs and Symptoms of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)

Early Intervention and 1-on-1 Training
Early intervention is a proactive strategy designed to discover early warning signs of MSDs and prevent the early warning signs from developing into an injury.

Early Intervention and 1-on-1 Training
How it works:When an early report is received, the onsite injury prevention specialist consults with the employee to review the MSD Prevention Toolbox materials and help the employee reverse early warning signs and prevent an injury from occurring.
The prevention specialist will also evaluate work tasks for ergonomic risk factors.
ALL risk factors (ergonomic and individual) are addressed through a proactive early intervention process.
