Inspectors will be visiting workplaces in all industries.
Ontario is targeting musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in a fall safety blitz that runs from September to the end of October.
Inspectors from the Ministry of Labour will be visiting workplaces in all industries, looking for potential hazards that could contribute to the onset of an MSD, according to the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA), one of the province’s partners in occupational health and safety.
IHSA is recommending that employers prepare by looking at lost-time injury records to see if some prevention strategies are necessary. Strategies can include educating employees about ergonomics, and how these concepts can be applied to their everyday activities.
