Turn your back on musculoskeletal disorders!
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are one of the most common work related ailments affecting millions of European workers across all employment sectors at a cost of billions of euros to Europes employers. However, much of the problem could be prevented or reduced by following existing health and safety regulations and guidance on good practice.
"Turn your back on musculoskeletal disorders" was the theme for the European Week for Safety and Health at Work run by the 15 European Union Member States during October 2000.
The European Week was an information campaign designed to raise awareness and promote activities to make Europe a safe and healthy place to work.
