ABSTRACT
Prevention and control of work related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) is one of the eight Priority Programmes of the Health and Safety Commission (HSC). Success in this area is vital if the targets of a 20% reduction in the incidence of work-related ill health and a 30% reduction in the number of work days lost due to work-related ill health (HSC, 2000) are to be achieved by 2010.
