Local Government Employers

"Local Government Employers represent English and Welsh local authorities as employers. Local government services rely heavily upon people for delivery. Our national absence data indicates that musculoskeletal injuries account for around 23% of all sickness absence and we recognise therefore this is an issue which must be tackled. LGE supports the Lighten the load campaign and encourages the active involvement of local authorities. LGE will work to identify good practice in MSD prevention and seek to share that both within the UK and across Europe. LGE also encourages local authorities to enter the competition for the Lighten the load good practice awards."

"The Energy Networks Association (ENA) is the industry body funded by UK gas and electricity transmission and distribution license holders. We have identified the management of musculoskeletal risks as one of our biggest challenges. ENA are committed to meeting this challenge and fully support the aims of the Lighten the load 2007 campaign. ENA, together with our members, look forward to actively contributing to the campaign and welcome the opportunity to share best practice across all industry sectors and throughout Europe."
