Have you ever twisted an ankle or pulled a muscle, or experienced something more serious like a herniated disc in your back? If you have, you've experienced a musculoskeletal injury (MSI). Unfortunately, injuries like these are very common in the workplace – there are more than 4,000 time loss MSIs reported to the WCB each year.
This webinar launches the new
Manitoba Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention Strategy, developed by prevention partners, which focuses on sharing knowledge and resources to make MSI prevention an integral part of all workplaces, and to have the strongest impact for all Manitobans.
You will learn about:
- What MSIs are and why the concern
- Where we came from – what we learned from the first MSI strategy
- Our plans moving forward into 2025
- Our partners and safety providers from a number of industries – who they are and their plans moving beyond 2021
See how you or your workplace can work together to reduce MSIs in the workplace, and keep everyone safe from harm – into the future.
