is the practice of designing workstations, work processes, and workflows to fit the capabilities of workers, thereby reducing the risk of injuries . When ergonomic principles are ignored, the resulting physical stress can lead to Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) —a group of health problems affecting soft tissues like muscles, tendons, nerves, and joints . Core Concepts of MSDs
The development of MSDs is typically linked to repetitive physical stressors : National Safety Month on Musculoskeletal Disorders
MSDs encompass a wide range of conditions that vary from mild discomfort to chronic disability .
: Injuries from "instantaneous" events like slips, trips, or falls are generally not classified as MSDs . Primary Risk Factors
: Commonly impact the back, neck, wrists, shoulders, and knees .
