Practical tools and guidance on musculoskeletal disorders
To make it easy for workplaces to assess and manage MSD risks, our easy-to-use database includes a variety of practical tools and guidance materials developed at EU and national levels.

The resources can be filtered by any of these or by a variety of other categories, so it couldn’t be easier to find exactly what you are looking for.
