Prevention

• Workplace Assessments: We can survey your workplaces in order to identify environments or working practices likely to cause or aggravate musculoskeletal disorders.

• Musculoskeletal Assessments of Individual Staff: Staff with known or suspected difficulties can be screened for poor posture and musculoskeletal function; treatment and exercises can reduce the likelihood of future occurences.

• Health Promotion: Through Wellbeing policies you can positively encourage the motivation and wellbeing of your staff; examples include helping employees to stop smoking or lose weight, and advice on healthy lifestyles and work life balance. Health promotion may not only reduce the amount of time that they may take off due to illness but may also develop a better team spirit and improve morale.
