Reducing the risk of MSDs from overhead work: New resources
Waterloo, Ontario — Overhead work is associated with shoulder injuries. New resources from the Center of Research Expertise for the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders, also known as CRE-MSD, are intended to help employers and workers address MSD risks caused by overhead work.
The center’s resources include an animated video, an infographic and a position paper detailing the “factors that can be modified to decrease MSD risk linked to overhead work.”
CRE-MSD also has an MSD Prevention Guideline website, which features a section on risk assessment and controls.
