Prevention spot on Musculoskeletal Disorders for employees in the construction sector. This spot is intended to be broadcasted in the waiting rooms of the occupational health service.
This brochure presents the different types of support that exist for companies throughout the implementation of a MSDs prevention approach, involving the legitimate actors to respond to them.
This information is completed by :
- a brief reminder of MSDs, their origins, their consequences and the existing levers for action to prevent them;
- a few concrete examples illustrating the fields of action of each of the institutions.
In this video, the limitations of "gestures and postures" training and individual "warm-up" approaches to prevent MSDs are explicitly shown. Next, the experiences of three employees and the discussions of three employers on their MSD-related problems are shown in parallel. The video encourages the spectators to reflect on the relevance of gestures and postures training as the only solution in a prevention approach.
Even today, there are still many misconceptions about MSDs and their prevention. After the first clip aimed at combating the preconceived idea about MSD prevention, "To prevent MSDs, you just have to show the right gestures and postures", a second part is proposed: "With age, it's normal to have MSDs! " The aim of this film is to show that it is possible to prevent MSDs throughout professional careers, by implementing various prevention actions, and thus enable people to retire with their health preserved. Indeed, getting older at work does not necessarily mean having MSDs.
This guide, aimed at prevention workers, reviews current knowledge about exoskeletons in order to highlight the benefits and limitations of their use in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
The aim is to help to better understand the impact of exoskeletons in order to effectively support the company in its approach to the acquisition and integration of an exoskeleton.
