Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) like back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendinitis are common workplace injuries. Prevention strategies focus on ergonomics, job design, and employee training. This includes optimizing workstations with adjustable chairs, keyboards, and monitors. Job tasks should be designed to minimize repetitive motions, awkward postures, and heavy lifting. Employee training on proper lifting techniques, workplace ergonomics, and the importance of reporting early symptoms is crucial. Regular exercise, stretching, and maintaining a healthy weight can also help reduce the risk of MSDs.
