About Course
There are many types of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD's),including back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, rotator cuff syndrome, sprains, and strains. These illnesses and injuries affect one or more parts of the musculoskeletal system. They include sprains, strains, inflammation, degeneration, tears, pinched nerves or blood vessels, bone splintering and stress fractures.
In this course, we'll look at practical ideas to help reduce the risk of repetitive stress injury in common construction tasks. While some solutions may need the involvement of the building owner or general contractor, there are also many ideas individual workers and supervisors can adopt.
