    General Musculoskeletal Disorder Prevention Tips

    1. If possible, lower rather than lift
    Lowering loads from a higher to a lower level uses gravity as an advantage. This may help to reduce stresses placed on the body.
    2. Always use the proper lifting technique
    Often, safe lifting training involves teaching the standard ‘Bend at your Knees’ technique. While this technique is effective for many lifting situations, other situations may require a ‘Golfer’s Lift’ or a ‘Two Person Lift’. Ensure everyone is trained on the appropriate techniques and when to use them.
    3. Push rather than pull
    Pushing provides a mechanical advantage, since an individual’s body weight helps to move the object. Pushing also allows for better body positioning, reducing stresses on the musculoskeletal system.
    4. Push or pull rather than carry
    Using a cart to push or pull a load reduces stresses placed on the musculoskeletal system from carrying.
    5. Work within the ‘power zone’
    The ‘power zone’ is typically considered the area between the shoulders and the knees. Doing work within this area maximizes the body’s strength. Heavier objects should be stored in this area so that the body can more effectively handle them. Lighter objects may be able to be stored outside of the power zone.
    6. Avoid awkward postures
    Joints are strongest and in their most stable position when they are in a neutral position. Work should be designed so that most of it is done with neutral postures. Awkward posture, such as working over the shoulder, increases the risk for an MSD.
    7. Build adjustability in the job
    Having adjustability in the job allows every person to do the work in their most effective posture. It helps to ensure everyone can do work within their power zone, and helps to avoid awkward postures. It also has the advantage of allowing many different people to safely do the same job!
