Ideas for action
The European campaign on musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is an opportunity to make workplaces safer and healthier. Everyone is invited to join in, however big or small their participation may be.
Here are some ideas about how you can get involved in the Lighten the load campaign - from workplaces to boardrooms, from factories to farms, and how enterprises, trades unions and OSH institutions can work together. The ideas and actions are followed by examples of what individuals and organisations have done in previous European campaigns.
- Risk assessments
- DSE assessments
- Lifting and manual handling training
- Safety demonstrations, displays and exhibitions
- Training events, seminars and workshops
- Poster competitions and quizzes
- Film, video and multimedia
- Advertising and promotion campaigns
- Partnerships between enterprises and schools/colleges/training centres
- Good neighbour schemes between large and small employers
- Suggestion schemes
- Hazard spotting
- Inspection days
- Press conferences and media activities
