Download or read book Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-05-24 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year workers' low-back, hand, and arm problems lead to time away from jobs and reduce the nation's economic productivity. The connection of these problems to workplace activities-from carrying boxes to lifting patients to pounding computer keyboards-is the subject of major disagreements among workers, employers, advocacy groups, and researchers. Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace examines the scientific basis for connecting musculoskeletal disorders with the workplace, considering people, job tasks, and work environments. A multidisciplinary panel draws conclusions about the likelihood of causal links and the effectiveness of various intervention strategies. The panel also offers recommendations for what actions can be considered on the basis of current information and for closing information gaps. This book presents the latest information on the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders and identifies factors that influence injury reporting. It reviews the broad scope of evidence: epidemiological studies of physical and psychosocial variables, basic biology, biomechanics, and physical and behavioral responses to stress. Given the magnitude of the problem-approximately 1 million people miss some work each year-and the current trends in workplace practices, this volume will be a must for advocates for workplace health, policy makers, employers, employees, medical professionals, engineers, lawyers, and labor officials.

Download or read book Back Injury Prevention Leader s Safety Guide written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is another in a series of Safety Guides for installation commanders, leaders, and workplace supervisors to help them protect their work forces against accidental losses. The focus here is one of the most common and most costly workplace injuries -- back injury. Applying the methods outlined in this booklet will help leaders mount effective back-injury-prevention programs. It contains ideas developed throughout the Army during the early phases of our back-emphasis effort. New approaches include added emphasis on ergonomics and contributions from a broader spectrum of Army health are professionals. Learning from earlier loss control successes, we know the Army's back-injury-prevention campaign must be a shared task. It can succeed only through coordinated staff action. Like all important leadership responsibilities, elimination of back-related losses is a "Commander's Program. But commanders lead, they do not administer. Keeping a lid on back-injury costs demands a lot of attention to detail from first-line supervisors and help from the installation's staff specialists. Chronic dollar losses are so great that their reduction will easily return the cost of control. The ideas and management tools in this pamphlet will help installation officials develop their own unique programs. While effective prevention of back injuries is required by Army and Federal regulations, no single approach is mandated. But most workplaces have room for improvement. Their leaders can profit from the prevention and care strategies outlined in this guide.
