Name
The Intersection of Safety Culture Change and MSD Injury Prevention
Date & Time
Tuesday, September 19, 2023, 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Description

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) have been a source of frustration for safety professionals, HR, operations managers and risk managers for many years. The definition of an MSD injury is so broad that it really encompasses most of the human movement systems—and if you can’t move, you can’t work! This presentation will flip the paradigm and present a working model that encompasses culture change, fatigue management, injury risk reduction, habit change and ergonomic solutions. Employees are shaped by the culture of the company, from date of hire through their work life cycle. To best prepare employees to meet or exceed the physical expectations of the job, training in best known methods and correct body mechanics can set the tone for how employees view safety. Employees can learn to take personal accountability for their well-being and help improve safety culture through flexibility with a purpose and objective feedback, diligent early management of symptoms and options for productive work. The net results are reduced MSD incidents, fewer OSHA recordable cases and less lost time. By supplementing or improving programs that might already be in place, a cohesive and standardized system can create the results that impact your site KPIs. Sounds too good to be true? Then attend this presentation and find out how intersecting culture change with MSD injury prevention can contribute to the overall financial health and safety of your company.
