ABSTRACT
Prevention and control of work related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) is one of the Health and Safety Commission’s (HSC) priorities. Success in this area is vital if the targets in Securing Health Together (HSC, 2000) of reducing by 2010 the incidence of work-related ill-health by 20% and reducing the number of work days lost due to workrelated ill-health by 30% are to be achieved.
