November 2, 2018

Preventing MSD’s, accidents, injuries and even death, goes way beyond traditional physical, mechanical and biological health and safety training.  And, although it is an employer’s responsibility to provide these training programs, if Psychosocial health risk assessment and management systems are not in place, we are being reactive not proactive in our approach.
