It’s one thing to talk about overexertion and lifting. It's another to be able to identify the specific elements of a job that have a high level of musculoskeletal injury (MSI) risk. In this workshop, gain a basic understanding of ergonomics and MSI prevention, and then take a deeper dive into task analysis—the essential first step in a physical demands analysis for any job.

Take away an understanding of why it is important to break a job or task into smaller sub-task elements when identifying and assessing MSI risk as part of a physical demands analysis.
