Injuries are commonly caused by routinely working in awkward or sustained postures, performing repetitive motions, or overexerting tissues from manual lifting and handling activities.
Workplace NL is raising awareness of Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) as Move Well – Work Well Week continues. This is an annual event in Newfoundland and Labrador to raise awareness of MSIs and find practical solutions for prevention in workplaces. Chief Executive Officer Ann Martin says these soft tissue injuries costs over 100 million dollars a year. She says these injuries are commonly caused by routinely working in awkward or sustained postures, performing repetitive motions, or overexerting tissues from manual lifting and handling activities. Martin says these injuries can happen to anyone.
