"This study presents several of the most relevant risk factors contributing to MSDs and MSD health outcomes within the HeSCare sector. These risks factors have been prioritised for further study due to their prevalence, severity and impact on workers' health and the operational effectiveness of care facilities. The selection is informed by sector-specific data, research findings and interviews with stakeholders, focusing on the multifaceted challenges posed by physical, psychosocial and organisational demands."
