Project ideas
This year’s theme is "Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention (an injury or disorder of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, or related soft tissue including a sprain, strain and inflammation)." Potential hazards in the workplace can include, slippery floors, poor ergonomic set up, etc. While hazards are a reality, injuries don't have to be. Every employer and employee can do their part to ensure a safer workplace, whether that be physically or psychologically. Practicing safe work and reporting any potential hazards will lead to a safer workplace for everyone. In this year's contest, we're looking for projects that focus on different ways to prevent musculoskeletal injuries in the workplace.
*For projects such as events or campaigns, be sure to include a plan explaining how you will implement.
