News from the HSE: Recognising contributions to reducing musculoskeletal risk

HSE’s annual musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) risk-reduction through design awards are now open for nominations.

The most recent statistics show that approximately 6.6 million working days are lost in Great Britain due to work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

If you are an employer in the UK, and you have made design changes that have reduced musculoskeletal risks in your workplace, then nominate yourselves for the awards.

Any UK employer can enter and there is an additional award category for small and medium size businesses (up to 250 employees).

The HSE website has further details on how to enter and case studies of previous winners.
