Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including manual handling injuries, are the most common type of occupational ill health in the UK and their prevention is a priority for HSC/E. It is important to remember that:


> things can be done to prevent MSDs;

> preventative measures are cost-effective;

> you cannot prevent all MSDs, so early reporting of symptoms, proper treatment and suitable rehabilitation is essential.
