Long-term prevention of MSD: institutional players facilitate an enterprise-level approach

A departmental project for prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) was initiated in 2003 by the Intercompany Medical Service of the Anjou region and the Organisation of Regional Action for the Improvement of Working Conditions in the Pays de Loire region in response to the difficulties faced by enterprises in establishing effective, sustainable projects. It brings together via a five-year commitment six volunteer companies which accept the requirements involved.
