Start acting now: Why early intervention is key to preventing chronic MSDs |
One in every four people in the EU suffer from a chronic musculoskeletal disorder (MSD), such as back pain, upper limb disorder, or osteoporosis. Europe’s workforce is ageing, and as a result, chronic MSDs are likely to become even more prevalent. Taking action as soon as symptoms appear is therefore vital to maintaining a healthy workforce, retaining workers, and boosting businesses. |

What are chronic MSDs and how can we manage them at work? |

Discover how countries across Europe apply policy initiatives to tackle MSDs |
Whether targeting a specific sector, a group of workers or as part of occupational safety and health (OSH) strategies, policy initiatives have shown to be successful in reducing the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in workplaces across Europe. These serve not only as a basis for further action, but also as transferable examples to policy makers and social partners in other countries. |

Workplace challenges and risk factors call for new approaches in MSDs prevention |
The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) remains high among EU workers due to a combination of elements. These include the impact of changing ways of working, an ageing workforce, and psychosocial factors. New approaches to prevention can help to achieve a long-term reduction in the prevalence of MSDs among EU workers. |
