Health and Safety Executive Principal Ergonomist, Matt Birtles will lead this interactive session on the HSE assessment methods for those already involved in MSD risk reduction and those making a start. Work-related MSDs can develop in an occupational setting due to the physical tasks individuals carry out in their normal work activities. Outcomes can be made worse when individuals are subject to work-related stress. With effective MSD risk management, much of this risk may be mitigated. Matt will signpost to HSE guidance and tools that can help dutyholders and will also be available on the HSE stand for more detailed 1-2-1 meetings.
