"Safety agencies constantly emphasises the importance of reducing MSDs but rarely go beyond simply advocating prevention, via improved ergonomics, better training and removing the causes from the workplace. The author argues that we should accept that MSDs cannot be entirely removed from the work and recommends and a more inclusive, proactive approach to MSD identification and management."
