Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs)

Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) are a group of injuries and conditions affecting the muscles, nerves, and joints due to work activities. These can include strains, sprains, and repetitive stress injuries caused by tasks like lifting, typing, or maintaining awkward postures. Symptoms often include pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, making it difficult to perform daily tasks. WMSDs can develop over time due to repetitive motion or poor ergonomics in the workplace. Recognizing risk factors and promoting proper techniques can help prevent these disorders, ensuring a healthier and more productive work environment.
