Too much - too often - too painful
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are the leading cause of work-related ill health in this country. TUC-backed Hazards magazine is running a campaign on the risk of MSD from repetitive work.
Repeat after me
|
The combination of prolonged repeated physical effort, lack of rest breaks and the psychological pressure to keep on working at all costs can be a vicious cocktail.
As part of the campaign Hazards provides some useful resources to help health and safety reps to identify the risky jobs in their workplace. They have also produced a 'Repeat After Me' poster to help to get the message across.
