Protect your employees from work-related musculoskeletal disorders

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include injuries and conditions that can affect the back, joints and limbs. These can reduce a person’s quality of life and can be developed, or made worse, through work. Employers have a legal duty to manage the risk of MSDs in the workplace. HSE offers the following courses designed to equip employers and employee representatives with the knowledge to help recognise, assess and reduce MSD risks in their organisations.

Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Risk Management

The course provides an overview of the legal, moral and financial reasons why DSE risk management is so important. It looks at how we get injured in the workplace and how to achieve good posture at your workstation when working in the office, working from home or when you are on the move with DSE.

Ergonomics

This course provides a solid introduction to ergonomics and the theory and techniques used to optimise the design of tools, tasks and workplaces. The techniques taught cover both the physical and psychosocial aspects of workplace design, following relevant HSE guidance and approaches to assess and reduce risks.

NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Manual Handling Risk Assessment

This course will equip delegates with the knowledge to recognise, assess and reduce manual handling risks in their organisation. Additionally, as part of the course, delegates will complete the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Manual Handling Risk Assessment qualification, which will allow them to formally recognise their learning.

Musculoskeletal Disorders Assessment

This course covers the key methods of assessing manual handling tasks, including the Manual Handling Assessment Charts (the MAC tool) and the Risk Assessment of Pushing and Pulling tool (the RAPP tool). Additionally it covers use of the Assessment of Repetitive Tasks tool (the ART tool), which is used to assess the risk of upper limb disorders.
