MSD Conference: ETUC goes on offensive against European workers' biggest health problem
Deadline: 14 September 2007. More than one in three European workers suffers from work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). European and national surveys report a general deterioration. Muscle and skeletal pains are not minor twinges, but have far-reaching medical, social, economic, psychological, and other consequences for millions of European workers across all sectors. The ETUC has decided to take action by hosting a joint conference with the ETUI-REHS Health and Safety Department in Brussels on 9 and 10 October 2007 entitled, “ETUC - On the offensive against MSDs”. It will be the first in a three-year timetable of rolling actions.
