Program Description

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the number one cause of lost-time injuries in Ontario. The Ministry of Labour (MOL) is conducting an enforcement blitz on MSDs during the month of February. This seminar will provide you with a good understanding of what MSDs are and how the MOL is writing up orders under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its regulations that are specific to MSD hazards. You will also learn how best to protect your organization from the development of MSDs, and address MSDs as you would any other hazard – by recognizing, assessing, controlling, and evaluating.
