European Safety and Health at Work Week 2022

It is estimated that in the future, three out of every five workers may suffer some type of musculoskeletal disorder, constituting the most frequent work-related health problem in Europe, therefore, in the final stretch of the European campaign: “Healthy jobs, let's relax the loads” is celebrated between the 24th and 28th October, the European Week of Safety and Health at Work, which is a magnificent opportunity to carry out an event or dissemination activity related to MSDs within companies and administrations.

In Fraternidad- Muprespa we already anticipated this celebration a few days with the holding last week of the webinar “Participatory ergonomics. the response to overexertion” in which we advise our companies for the prevention ofmusculoskeletal disorders caused by physical load in the work environment, through the design and implementation of changes and improvements in jobs through participatory procedures.

Also during this week on our portal Previene we will contribute our grain of sand with the publication of two video pills extracted from our Fratertalks in which we will address from an ergonomic point of view, exoskeletons and e-commerce.

But today, at the beginning of this week we begin by remembering our good practice guides for prevention of disorders musculoskeletal and technical solutions to reduce the risk due to manual handling of loads, which are presented as two documents of great interest to our associates where they can find solutions and practical examples to be able to implement in thecompany whatever type it may be, increasing the preventive culture throughout the organization.
