Description

Many of the tasks in childcare require a significant amount of lifting and many repetitive movements. Over time it becomes increasingly difficult for employees of a certain age to lift children.  The kindergarten implemented a number of measures to reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal
disorders among its 19 female employees.  This included new equipment, individual training sessions and early access to pysiotherapy.
