Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD's) are a leader in lost time injures at the WSIB in Ontario and abroad for many workplaces. In fact, the average cost to an employer from repetitive strain injuries was approximately $13830 per claim...  Many tasks in a workplace invite MSD's and most of the time the signs are ignored, in many cases leading to a shortened earning potential for their career. This topic is exceptionally broad based and can be very complicated; we designed it as an awareness course, discussing challenges from YOUR workplace and offering suggestions in how to overcome them. We discuss  common MSD's, their origins open dialogue for introducing safer work practices in all industries. 

This course has received exceptional feedback in its inaugural delivery and we are proud to be the first company in the health and safety industry in Barrie to offer this kind of training. The benefit of attending this course is to offer suggestions for ways to minimize injury on the job, no matter where you work, or what kind of work you do.

Upon successful course completion, the learner will:

  • Describe what a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) is
  • Identify their origins and injury types
  • Identify unsafe work stations and tasks that led to the onset of MSD's
  • Describe ways to minimize the onset of MSD's specific to their workplace
  • Demonstrate safer ways to complete work and minimize injury
  • Describe the IRS role in minimizing MSD's in a workplace
