Many work injury claims are made each year by workers suffering from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), such as back injury, repetitive strain injury and conditions such as hand arm vibration syndrome.
These disorders can occur as a result of manual handling procedures; lifting and carrying, pulling, pushing or supporting loads, or even as a result of one-off workplace accidents caused by lack of training or proper equipment to perform a task.
In a bid to prevent such work injury claims and to generally improve the musculoskeletal health of the nation's workforce the charitable organisation Business in the Community(BITC) has developed a PDF document to help employers improve their working practices and to utilise the knowledge gained by large companies who have already implemented schemes to safeguard the health of their workers.
The Working Joints and Muscles Toolkit is a free resource created by employers for employers, drawing on experience and expertise gathered by the BITC Musculoskeletal Steering Group.
The Toolkit aims to provide assistance to businesses for the promotion of musculoskeletal health in the workplace and beyond. It has been formulated with help from leading businesses and health and safety groups including Birds Eye, Centrica, Groupama Insurances, Parcelforce Worldwide, Wates Group, WSP group, Land Registry, the Work Foundation and The Health and Safety Executive; with support form BITC and Backcare.
Amongst many other things the Toolkit includes:
