Preventable, musculoskeletal disorders are reported by almost 600,000 employees yearly, in the working force, which in return, causes an increase in leaves and absences in the workplace. Musculoskeletal Disorders are common stresses and strains experienced by everyday workers, and are disorders that can affect tissue, the nervous system, tendons, ligaments/joints/cartilage, and the brain, arms, back, fingers, wrists, legs, and shoulders and account for 1/3 of workspace injuries. Any worker in any workspace and working environment is vulnerable to these injuries, but, they mainly occur and apply to workers in jobs that involve and make them work with more force and repetition, by increasing the pressure on nerves and irritating tendon, awkward/uncomfortable postures, by stretching your physical limits, static/unchanging postures, by reducing blood circulation and damaging muscles, quick/sudden motions, by adding more force to your body, contact/compression stress, by placing more force on small parts of your body and damaging tendon/tendon sheets, and constant vibration, which damages nerves and can cause muscle fatigue. Most commonly, people with jobs where they manually handle material, work in manufacturing or production plants, constantly lift heavy objects/products or stay in one uncomfortable and unchanging position for hours are increasingly vulnerable to those hazards. Musculoskeletal Disorders also cost a good 15 to 20 billion dollars in worker compensat. ion each year, causing a significant loss of movement within the company based from a common musculoskeletal disorder, back injuries, as it is suffered by half the workforce at least once in their working life. These musculoskeletal disorder risks seem very easy to contract, especially as they cover a wide range of jobs, but, by allowing work environments to outline these hazards and dangers to the worker’s health and safety, such as by allowing each worker to detect their symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders, by letting each worker, with the help of the health and safety departments of the company, prevent their injuries from becoming serious and health threatening and by letting worker experience proper activity, outside of the working environment from healthy diets to daily exercise, can reduce up to half of the reported work related injuries, and, create a healthy and safe environment for the worker, while ignoring these easily detected hazards will increase the stage of injury for sufferers and increase the risk of injury for all the other workers.
