SUMMARY:Webinar: Musculoskeletal & Ergonomic Safety for Forest Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Forest workers face unique ergonomic challenges due to their exposure to extreme environmental conditions\, heavy workload\, and dangerous tools and machines. The forest sector has one of the highest rates of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)\, almost 100 times higher than the industrial targets the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) set. This program is intended to help forest workers identify ergonomic issues leading to musculoskeletal injuries and discover resources to aid in injury treatment and prevention. \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to… \n1. Identify work site hazards and potential resulting musculoskeletal injuries. \n2. Identify three initiatives aimed at reducing risks related to musculoskeletal injuries. \n3. Locate evidence-based resources in the forestry health and safety field that address ergonomic security. \nIntended Audience: This course is intended for workers in forestry and logging\, including fallers\, first-line supervisors/managers of forestry workers\, logging equipment operators\, sawing machine setters\, operators and tenders\, and truck drivers. \n Watch the Recording Here  \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-39184-SH2 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
